Hi Mark,
I wonder where to store board specific info? For example, some
customer boards have a reset pin to control codec.
If I store it in machine driver, I must modify it according to the boards.
I can store it in arch/board file and pass it to codec driver, but how
about the external system clock?
Regards,
Scott

The entire purpose of the machine driver is to be board specific, though
machine drivers can take platform data if they support many similar
boards. There's a few examples of this like the tegra_wm8903 driver.

You can't usually assume the system clock is static in your driver
(unless it's a physical property of the device that it must be) - the
system could connect it to a variable clock source of some kind.
