I don't think a platform device would want an of_xlate_dai_name function; a platform device is not what provides the DAI and hence it shouldn't be involved in translating a DT DAI specifier into a DAI name. > struct snd_soc_codec_driver > will have new ".of_xlate_dai_name". Yes, putting the function into the CODEC driver makes sense. I guess that snd_soc_register_dai() and snd_soc_register_dais() already are the equivalent of snd_soc_register_cpu(); they are already passed the struct device that implements the DAIs, and hence if you pass that struct back to the DAI driver's of_xlate_dai_name function, it should have enough information to do the mapping: the dev contains the platform data the DAI driver can use to perform the mapping. I guess the algorithm should be: * Find a CODEC device that was instantiated from the DT node referenced by the phandle. * If found, ask the CODEC to translate, and use the result. This function would be passed the CODEC pointer and phandle args. * Find any DAI, that is not part of a CODEC, that was instantiated from the DT node referenced by the phandle. * If found, ask the driver of the DAI to translate. This function would probably have to be passed the DT node as well as the first DAI you found, plus the phandle args. * If nothing found above, fail. _______________________________________________ devicetree-discuss mailing list devicetree-discuss@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/devicetree-discuss
