[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: media: snps,dw-hdmi-rx: add #sound-dai-cells

From: Igor Paunovic

Date: Wed Jul 15 2026 - 16:09:12 EST


The HDMI RX controller has two digital audio interfaces, one for
I2S and one for S/PDIF. Allow referencing connections from audio
codecs to these interfaces by documenting the missing #sound-dai-cells
property.

Changes in v2 (all suggested by Sebastian Reichel):
- reworded the commit message to describe the hardware
- property description now documents the DAI indexes (0 = I2S,
1 = S/PDIF)
- moved the consumer reference into the binding example
