For DM6446 the correct driver would be the davinci-i2s. The audio interface is
named as ASP in DM6446 which is an early version of McBSP - really basic IP
(according to the TRMs).
AFAIK there is no users of davinci-i2s in mainline and I do not have and I do
not have HW where I can test it.
Because of this lack of users there is no DT bindings for davinci-i2s - which
should be renamed as davinci-asp IMHO.
But the code looks like something which might work so at least w/o DT boot
should be trivial to enable.

If you look at arch/arm/mach-davinci/dm644x.c and board-dm644x-evm.c it is
setting up davinci-mcbsp (which is implemented within davinci-i2s driver).

So at least non DT boot should work with audio.

For what I see is that mainline should work with audio on dm644x-evm.
