Hi Rob, Mark Cc Guennadi, Laurent
Now OF graph is mainly used by V4L2 SoC, and ALSA SoC is using different style for SoC <-> Codec binding. But, for example, HDMI case, V4L2 <-> ALSA need to collaborate, and then ALSA SoC needs to adjust to OF graph.
OTOH, V4L2's "OF graph" position is same as ALSA SoC "sound card" position. And ALSA SoC side want to keep existing supported feature on new OF graph style. I'm posting this on ALSA SoC ML now.
Now, current of_graph is indicating port/endpoint, but there is no way to understand that it is for video port ? or sound port ? or other device port ? For example, HDMI has video port, and sound port. Because of this reason, ALSA SoC side can't handle OF graph correctly. Thus, this patch-set tries to add new "type" on OF graph.
And this patch-set includes small feature which are useful for ALSA SoC side OF graph support.
