[PATCH v3 1/4] dt-bindings: media: snps,dw-hdmi-rx: add #sound-dai-cells

From: Igor Paunovic

Date: Sat Jul 18 2026 - 04:58:20 EST


The HDMI RX controller can expose the audio embedded in the incoming
HDMI stream as an ALSA capture device. Document the #sound-dai-cells
property so that a sound card can reference the HDMI RX audio DAI.

Changes in v3:
- no changes

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
