[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/2][RFC] ASoC: soc-core: modern style dai_link control

[Kuninori Morimoto]

Hi Mark, again

> These are [RFC] patches which adds new rule for modern style dai_link.
> Many sound are using CPU component as Platform component, and then
> it has below settings on legacy style dai_link
> 
> 	dai_link->platform_of_node = dai_link->cpu_of_node
> 
> But, this duplicated component will be just ignored because
> it is already selected when CPU component binding.
> We want to allow "no Platform" on modern style dai_link.
> 
> And, current legacy style dai_link allows no Platform settings, then,
> soc-core will select snd-soc-dummy platform for it automatically.
> In modern style, we need to have CPU/Codec/Platform as array/pointer style.
> Thus, this kind of "implicit" selection will be just un-understandable.
> 
> These 2 patches adds new rule for modern style, and have no effect

> But, I can't test for *all* board/situation.
> Thus, I added [RFC] for these.

And, I think these are no special effect on Codec<->Codec.
But, need to check/test.
