I see. After the discussion started, I started to have suspicions of my own
regarding the V4L2 ioctls. Except for log-status, which is a practical
diagnostics feature (even supported by v4l2-ctl), I'm thinking about dropping
them altogether in favor of audio soc DAI implementation.
The DAI implementation does all we ever needed from the device. Besides,
selecting a I2S protocol variant from user space (I2S vs I2S/TDM) never felt
right.

Shall I submit the log-status separately?

Regards,
Alex
