Signed-off-by: Shenghao Ding <13916275206@139.com>

---
Changes in v7:
 - Submit together with tas2781 codec driver code
 - Add more detail description for ti,audio-slots
 - Keep consistent for "I2C"
 - remove reset-gpios description
 - For reg, express as constraints instead
 - remove unnecessary '|'

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

Fix your patchset threading. I don't think it's possible to apply your one.

Missing minItems, but...

... So these are fixed? No need to encode them in such case...

and anyway actually I agree with Rob here - these addresses should be
put in reg.

Probably you can figure it out from previous addresses and there is no
need for this property.

[DING] if all the put in reg, the i2c_probe will be called several time. The code don not want to register several codecs, but one codec including several tas2781s.

[Ding] this address is the common address for all the tas2781, it can be used for dsp firmware downloading to all the tas2781s in parallel, which can save more downloading time

Eh? Why and what would call probe multiple times for one device? It's
the first time I hear... I don't know, maybe Linux I2C has some
specifics, but sounds surprising.

So the answer is yes? Then please drop it... If not, say why it cannot
be deducted from other addresses (e.g. last address + 1).

While it would be nice if things were fixed (if git send-email is being
used then passing all the patches to one git send-email command should
do the trick) it's not an insurmountable obstacle.

I'm not sure I understand your concern here, there's up to 4 possible
values from 0x38-0x3f which has more than 4 possible values.

Aren't the addresses going to be incremented by one (up to 8 of devices
in total)?

Aren't the addresses going to be incremented by one (up to 8 of devices in total)?

No, the i2c address order is not always monotonic increase or decrease, sometime it would be disorder, according to the application.
Each device would have eight possible i2c address, the final address depends on the hardware connections.

With your style of replies, it looks like you wrote it...

OK, the question about the broadcast is still there - cannot it be deduced?

All the addresses of tas2781 are in range from 0x38 to 0x 3f, the order of them in the audio-slots item are up to the hardware connections.
I have studied the reg item to save multiple i2c addresses for multiple pieces of tas2781 and found that "'#address-cells':     maximum: 3"
that means "reg" store not more than three addresses, this can't support the more than 3 pieces of tas2781, 
such as 4-slot TDM case or multiple dual-membrane speakers case, in such a case, one speaker will use
 two pieces of tas2781 to boost, usually at least 6 pieces of tas2781 will be used in a laptop or other device.

The reason to define this item and add it in dts is that tell tas2781 driver code to enable broadcast and its address. 
Removing this item means disabling broadcast. Do you want to hardcode the global address in the code?
And this item only used as a flag to enable or disable?

No entirely. This determines the size of each address, not the number of
addresses.

Hi Krzysztof, nice to talk with you!

I really do not know what is here mine what's yours. I could guess, but
we are all a bit busy, so I would appreciate if reading your email was
easier for me.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
