Re: [PATCH v2] ASoC: hdac_hdmi: support 'ELD' mixer

[Kai Vehmanen]

Hey,

a general comment first. We are trying to move development to patch_hdmi, 
but given we still have platforms using hdac_hdmi, this patch seems like a 
useful addition.

Minor spelling fixes:
"Add a binary mixer"
"so user space can read"

This is a bit iffy part. If same PCM is connected to multiple receivers, 
you return ELD data for the first one and ignore the rest. OTOH, this is 
inline with comment in hdac_hdmi_get_port_from_cvt() in that this 
pcm-to-many routing is not really supported by the driver now. But
jack status reporting is done a port basis, not per PCM/CVTs, so this is 
not fully aligned.

Hmm. Given the proposed patch is aligned with the user-space interface 
exposed by patch_hdmi.c, I'm ok to go with this. Can you add an explicit 
comment to explain what is happening above?

Br, Kai
