[PATCH 1/4] arm64: dts: freescale: imx8mp-verdin: Add NAU8822 Bridge Tied Load

From: Ernest Van Hoecke

Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 07:59:23 EST


From: Ernest Van Hoecke <ernest.vanhoecke@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a device tree overlay for configuring the NAU8822 loudspeaker
outputs as a Bridge Tied Load (BTL) output on the Verdin Development
Board.

The overlay adds the codec property for the BTL-capable output
configuration, where the two loudspeaker outputs are combined for higher
output power.
