[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: codecs: dmic: Make number of channels configurable

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

The DMIC DAI driver specifies a number of 1 to 8 channels for each DAI.
The actual number of mics can currently not be configured in the device
tree or audio glue, but is derived from the min/max channels of the CPU
and codec DAI. A typical CPU DAI has two or more channels, in consequence
a single mic is treated as a stereo/multi channel device, even though
only one channel carries audio data.

This change adds the option to specify the number of used DMIC channels
in the device tree. When specified this value overwrites the default
channels_max value of 8 in the snd_soc_dai_driver struct of the codec.
