The RT5639 is a simplified version of RT5640. There was only a pair of DACs and there was no MONO out.
The RT5639 and RT5640 didn't have the DSP function, and the RT5642 was the RT5640 plus a DSP.
In our side, the Tegra4 was broken, and it also was EOL in your company.
So, do you have the code base of Tegra5 which can use for verifying the upsteam driver?
