Ah, OK. Interesting.

>From cec-adap.c:

                if (log_addrs->num_log_addrs == 2) {
                        if (!(type_mask & ((1 << CEC_LOG_ADDR_TYPE_AUDIOSYSTEM) |
                                           (1 << CEC_LOG_ADDR_TYPE_TV)))) {
                                dprintk(1, "two LAs is only allowed for audiosystem and TV\n");
                                return -EINVAL;
                        }
                        if (!(type_mask & ((1 << CEC_LOG_ADDR_TYPE_PLAYBACK) |
                                           (1 << CEC_LOG_ADDR_TYPE_RECORD)))) {
                                dprintk(1, "an audiosystem/TV can only be combined with record or playback\n");
                                return -EINVAL;
                        }
                }

So you would store the TV or AUDIOSYSTEM logical address in the firmware, since those
describe the system best.

I.e. it is a TV/Audiosystem with recording/playback capabilities.

The problem is that for CEC 1.4 no such restriction is imposed (the test above is
specific to CEC 2.0). But I think it makes sense to just check if TV/Audiosystem
is selected and pick that as the LA to store in the firmware, and otherwise just
pick the first LA (log_addr[0]).
