Sorry for late reply, somehow seemed to miss this earlier..

Here is the complete picture let me know if things are not clear

This code has below structure (from the specs).

			Root Node (0)
			     |
			   AFG  (1)
			     |
	Converter (2) ----------------	Pin Widget (5)
			     |
	Converter (3) ----------------	Pin Widget (6)
			     |
	Converter (4) ----------------	Pin Widget (7)
			     |
			Vendor Widget (8)

Numbers in braces indicated NID values for these nodes

Currently we are using only one pin which is used on our ref board and seems
to be default config.
After the base driver is done we will add code to enumerate all the nodes.
Based on node capability we will parse and add widgets for all the queried
nodes. So for this case will be 3 nodes and 3 widgets created

Since coding for each widget would not make sense so we created a generic
function hdac_hdmi_init_dai_map() based on the node passed which we will use
later for all the queried pins

Thanks
