Hi Rob, Mark, again
Yes, as you pointed, sound side (= ALSA SoC) will use generic driver for sound card which needs to know its total port number. Then, these patches are needed.
I posted OF graph part only this time, but of course I have total full-set in my local environment. But these are ...
- cleanup current generic sound driver (= almost 30 patch)
- OF graph new feature (= this patch-set) (= almost 10 patch)
- OF graph base generic sound driver (= almost 30 patch)
- ...
I'm posting 1) part to ALSA SoC ML, 2) part to this ML.
- will take more long term >> Mark ??
If you want to see this patch-set together with use case, then 3) is needed. If so, I will merge 2) and 3), and post these to this ML and ALSA SoC ML.
Is it OK for you ? >> Rob, Mark I don't know how to handle it, but I can follow your opinion
I think we can use 2 patterns ?
pattern1) post "OF graph new feature" patch and "ALSA SoC use it" patch
1. OF graph new feature 1 patch 2. ALSA SoC use feature 1 patch 3. OF graph new feature 2 patch 4. ALSA SoC use feature 2 patch 5. OF graph new feature 3 patch 6. ALSA SoC use feature 3 patch ...
It is easy to review, but difficult on maintainer ?
pattern2) post "OF graph new feature" patch-set and "ALSA SoC use it" patch-set
1. OF graph new feature 1 patch 2. OF graph new feature 2 patch 3. OF graph new feature 3 patch 4. ALSA SoC use feature 1 patch 5. ALSA SoC use feature 2 patch 6. ALSA SoC use feature 3 patch ...
It is easy on maintainer, difficult to review ?
Actually, this patch-set is 1, 2, 3 part of pattern2). I can post all patch-set in next time if we use pattern2) case.
Or I can post as pattern1), and maintainer will pickup as pattern2) order ?
In general, all these helpers look okay if you have a user for them.
Thanks. As I explained above, it is based on 1) part, but it will takes more long term.
