[alsa-devel] [RFC PATCH] ASoC: fsl: Add Audio Mixer CPU DAI driver

[Nicolin Chen]

Hi Viorel,

Sorry for the late response, having been on a long vacation.

The code looks pretty clean. Just some small concerns/questions below.

I aimn't against the naming here, but it seems to be AUDMIX in RM?

Would it be better to align with that? It's your decision though.

Are they fixed to SAI0 and SAI1 in imx8qm? Wondering if it'd be better
to have such information in the doc.

Should we handle the width in hw_param()?

Why do we change pol here? It feels like against set_fmt().

So it's used either for playback or capture only, not both at same time?
