Re: [PATCH v3] arm64: dts: rockchip: add SPDIF node for rk3399-rockpro64

[Johan Jonker]

Hi Katsuhiro, Heiko,

Question for the maintainer:
Should we add a SPDIF node if the connector is not physical on a board,
only a header?

Thanks Katsuhiro for the "aplay -l" screen print.

	hdmi_sound: hdmi-sound {
		compatible = "simple-audio-card";
		simple-audio-card,name = "hdmi-sound";

Maybe rename to "HDMI"?

[..]
	};

	sound {
		compatible = "audio-graph-card";
		label = "rockchip,rk3399";

Maybe change this to "ES8316" to prevent confusion?

		dais = <&i2s1_p0>;
	};

This would be the second sound card with the same label.
It seems that aplay/linux? adds "-1" to it and removes the comma, so we get:

hdmisound
rockchiprk3399
rockchiprk339_1

Shouldn't we label it with something that reflect the function/output.
Shouldn't we standardize to SPDIF, HDMI and Analog similar to rk3318/rk3328?
Make a shorter label without spaces or special chars, so that chars
don't get removed?

Proposal:

HDMI
ES8316
SPDIF

> +		dais = <&spdif_p0>;

Maybe disable too?

The "sound-dit" node is standard enabled and will start some process
with a dia in a node that is disabled.

Maybe disable too?

This also points to something that's disabled.

This node is disabled.
