Hi Kuninori-san,

I have tested this series on an Amlogic device (vim3l)
This brings warnings for cases which are perfectly fine.

For example, one of the DPCM backends is the TDM interface. This
interface is capable of both playback and capture. It can be associated
with any i2s/TDM codec.

The codec may do playback and capture too, but it
may also do a single direction. Then usual example is the hdmi codec
which does playback only.

In this case I get:
 axg-sound-card sound: CPU capture is available but Codec capture is not (be.dai-link-6) Please update Codec driver

I don't think this is right.
