The notion of mono in I2S, Left/Right Justified formats is not really
valid. They are stereo protocols by design. DSP_A/B is used with mono
audio (which often referred as PCM).
It is the responsibility of the codec/cpu drivers to interpret the
standards correctly, and configure themselves accordingly. Take a look
at the Wolfson codec documentation they are really good in this matter
(what I2S, DSP/PCM, and other coding means in real life).
You can look at the omap-mcbsp driver for an example, but configuring
the FS/BC polarity in the format selection (without taking a look at the
INV mask) does not seam to be correct.
