Hmm... OK I see
Let's skip to simplify simple-card.

But, I need sound card which supports
sampling-rate-convert via DPCM, and I can't use
simple-card for it, right ?
So, I need to create new sound card anyway.
I need guideline about it.
Can I create it in sound/soc/generic,
or should I create it in /sound/soc/sh/rcar ?
"rate-controllable-audio-card"
What do you think about this name ?


Best regards
