The particular configuration used for the EVM should not be relevant for
the McASP driver.

Interesting spacing in the comments...

Should be a real error code.

It might be easier with a lot of these functions to just pass the
davinci_audio_dev as a parameter.

Your driver consistently refers to itself as an I2S driver but it
appears that in actual fact it only implements DSP mode B.  This might
be a bit confusing for users.

I suspect looking at some of the indentation that you're writing this
code with 4 character tabs.

Why is the McASP driver using platform data called 'evm_snd_patform_data'?
This suggests that there's some abstraction problem with the separation
between the machine and McASP drivers.

Are the two DAIs directly tied to each other in hardware?  If not it'd
probably be better to have them registered as separate devices and probe
separately so that if another chip comes along with a different set of
DAIs it can be accommodated more readily - if the register interfaces
stay consistent it may simply be a case of registering the new device.

You should initialise dev within the DAI to be the struct device for the
platform driver you were probed with.  It might also be nice to tie this
in to num_links somehow.
