Alternative binding proposal for tda998x audio (Was: Re: [PATCH RFC v5 4/8] drm/i2c: tda998x: Add support of a DT graph of ports)

[Jyri Sarha <jsarha@ti.com>]

Ok, here is just one more simple alternative for tda998x audio binding. 
I feel that the graph ports binding for audio does not make sense 
without a graph based ASoC machine driver implementation. The ASoC 
simple-card is already here and it so widely used that there is no 
getting rid of that any time soon. This proposal provides the same 
functionality as the patch in the root of this thread, but in a simpler 
way and is equally compatible with simple-card.

The example assumes a dt-include file with integer definitions for 
TDA998x_SPDIF and TDA998x_I2S.


	tda19988 {
		compatible = "nxp,tda998x";
		reg = <0x70>;
		pinctrl-names = "default", "off";
		pinctrl-0 = <&nxp_hdmi_bonelt_pins>;
		pinctrl-1 = <&nxp_hdmi_bonelt_off_pins>;
		video-ports = <0x230145>;

		/* Required by simple-card. The number of sound-dai
		   cells must agree with the number of audio ports
		   described in audio-ports property. */
		#sound-dai-cells = <2>;

			     /*	DAI-format	AP_ENA reg value */
		audio-ports = <	TDA998x_SPDIF	0x04
				TDA998x_I2S	0x03>;

		port {
			hdmi_0: endpoint@0 {
				remote-endpoint = <&lcdc_0>;
			};
		};
	};

Russell, Rob? Which one would you prefer, the old graph ports binding or 
this simpler version?

Best regards,
Jyri
