Re: [PATCH 5/5] arm64: dts: imx8mq-phanbell: Enable the rt5645 analog audio

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Incomplete DAPM routing for the external Headphone Microphone breaks headset recording.
- [High] Using `system-clock-direction-out` without an explicit clock misconfigures the Audio PLL and breaks audio playback.
- [Low] Missing required regulator supply properties `avdd-supply` and `cpvdd-supply` in the `rt5645` codec node.

arm64: dts: imx8mq-phanbell: Enable the rt5645 analog audio

The board has an rt5645 on i2c3 driving the 3.5 mm headphone jack, its
microphone and two on-board DMICs, fed by sai2.

[Severity: High]
Is there a missing route here to connect Headphone Mic to a codec input pin,
such as IN1P or IN2P?

Without this route, will ALSA DAPM see the microphone as a dead end, failing
to power up the codec's ADC and breaking headset microphone recording?

[Severity: High]
By specifying system-clock-direction-out here without an explicit clocks or
system-clock-frequency property, does this cause simple-card to fall back to
the child node's first clock (IMX8MQ_CLK_SAI2_IPG at 133MHz)?

If so, simple_init_dai() will set the Audio PLL to 133MHz during probe.
Because fsl_sai_set_dai_sysclk() blocks clock changes once playback starts
(when sai->mclk_streams > 0), the PLL remains stuck at 133MHz.

Will this cause fsl_sai_hw_params() to fail to derive valid BCLK dividers
from 133MHz, breaking audio playback completely?

[Severity: Low]
Are the avdd-supply and cpvdd-supply properties required for this codec node?

Will omitting them cause device tree schema validation (dtbs_check) to fail?
