Subject: Re: [PATCH 07/22] ASoC: Ux500: Initialise PCM from MSP probe rather than as a device

How do the all the other DT:ed audio drivers handle the PCM then? More
importantly, how would you like to see it handled? Ola has NACKed this
patch and explained why:

"I'm sorry but this patch is breaking the design of ASoC. The ASoC-
platform is the DMA-block (in combination with the MSP-block), and
there should be a platform-driver for the DMA/PCM. The platform-driver 
then has a DAI which is the MSP. The ASoC DAI-link-struct should have
one driver for each of these, so the dummy-driver for PCM should be
there."

So I don't really know where to go with it. Any ideas?
