The obvious question here is of course if we can use the same driver for both of them.quoted
I haven't got a g20 to test that, but that's the goal.I think I do somewhere.quoted
For now, g20 is still non-DT, so I think it's best to have a DT-only driver like this one for the 9x5 family (9g15, 9g25, 9x25, 9g35, 9x25). When the g20 will move to DT completely, we can drop sam9g20_wm8731.c and adjust sam9x5_wm8731.c (mainly master clock and widgets it seems) By the way, maybe g45 could use that also (and SAMA5 ?)If this is the goal then this driver needs a more generic name.
Hum. I guess we could call it atmel-ssc-sound.c, since the ultimate goal would be to make it codec agnostic, but there's quite some work to achieve that (handle the widgets, mclk and rates by DT). But I really don't know if it's better to keep this name as long as g20 is not supported, and change it after or have a name that is not reflecting what the machine driver is doing right now. Maybe Bo or Nicolas can give their feeling on that (since I'm not Atmel, I don't know every SoC or what their Big Plan is for sound machine drivers) Richard. -- for me, ck means con kolivas and not calvin klein... does it mean I'm a geek ?
