[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: connector: Add fsl,aud-io-slot binding

From: chancel . liu

Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 04:07:18 EST


From: Chancel Liu <chancel.liu@xxxxxxx>

The NXP AUD-IO slot represents a physically present I/O connector on
the base board. It acts as a nexus that exposes a constrained set of
I/O resources, such as GPIOs, clocks and interrupts, through fixed
electrical wiring. All actual hardware providers reside on the base
board. The connector node only defines index-based mappings to those
providers.

This connector type is present on i.MX95 19x19 EVK and i.MX952 EVK,
where it is used to attach the IMX-AUD-IO audio expansion card[1]. The
same add-on board can be reused across different base boards that carry
this connector.
