Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH v3 09/11] ASoC: fsl: remove the fatal error checking on codec-handle

It's optional in the sense that if your SSI is not connected to anything, then you don't need to specify the codec handle. If the SSI is connected to a codec, then the SSI node needs to point to it.

More importantly, the imx machine drivers to be added working with fsl_ssi will not have this property, as they use new ASoC machine driver binding mechanism.

I want to see that binding documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings first.
