[PATCH] arm: bcm2835-audio: Document the device tree node to enable bcm2835-audio driver

From: Santiago Garcia Mantinan
Date: Wed Dec 12 2018 - 16:05:53 EST


This patch makes it posible to use the bcm2835-audio driver on the Raspberry.

In drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-audio/TODO Michael Zoran says
that this is to be done, in fact as we noted on
https://bugs.debian.org/856505 without this patch the driver is not
loaded and when loaded it doesn't do a thing.

After applying the patch on both 4.19.X and 4.20-rc5 you get the
driver autoloaded and working sound on hdmi and on the minijack
(selection done through amixer cset).

I'd like this patch to be applied so that people with a Raspberry can
get sound out of it.
