The driver is assuming a capture stream exists. My codec is output only.
While the driver declares a capture stream the core doesn't require that both capture and playback be available - it will cope with a capture only or a playback only DAI (this is fairly common due to DAC only and ADC only parts). Unless there's some other issue specific to this driver?
I'm using external clocking, but the driver should support using the mpc5200 for clocking. That's a little complicated since you have to compute the divisors. For example the Phytec pcm030 board has a 33.3333Mhz xtal and runs at 400Mhz.
This is desirable, though it shouldn't be an obstacle for merging if the driver only supports running in slave mode.
In order to reduce options, can the psc-i2s driver always try to use mpc5200 clocking, then let the codec or fabric driver override it?
The clocking should always be under the control of the machine driver with the codec and platform drivers exporting the required dividers and PLLs/FLLs. Neither the platform driver nor the codec driver are really in a position to know how a given board is wired up and what interdependencies or external requirements there are.
