Is this used semantically, or is it a completely arbitrary string? In either case I don't see why the compatible string doesn't give the driver enough to have a sensible value.
I'm confused as to why we need this. The phrase "user-visible" in a device description seems very odd.
The string would be in the ALSA device list: ALSA device list: #0: imx-spdif
I think it can be a sort of arbitrary as long as users know which this device exactly is when they catch the name by 'aplay -l' or 'arecord -l'
The phrase "user-visible" is being used in many current docs, I don't dare to change it unless a sage gives me a suggestion.
- spdif-controller : The phandle of the i.MX S/PDIF controller
+Optional properties:
- spdif-transmitter : The phandle of the spdif-transmitter dummy codec
- spdif-receiver : The phandle of the spdif-receiver dummy codec
+* Note: At least one of these two properties should be set in the DT binding.
Are all four units (comlpex,controller,transmitter,receiver) really separate blocks?
At least they are separate drivers as I mentioned in the commit comments.
Thank you, Nicolin
