Current ALSA SoC is assuming 1 CPU 1 Platform (= DMA) style system. Because of this background, it is directly using xxx_name / xxx_of_node / xxx_dai_name on dai_link. Let's call it as legacy style here. More complex style system like multi CPU multi Platform (= DMA) will coming. To supporting it, we can use snd_soc_dai_link_component on dai_link. Let's call it as modern style here. But current ALSA SoC can't support it so far. Thus, we need to have multi CPU / multi Codec / multi Platform style in the future on ALSA SoC. Currently we already have multi Codec support. Platform is starting to use modern style on dai_link, but still style only. Multi Platform is not yet implemented. And we still don't have multi CPU support on ALSA SoC, and not have modern style either. Currently, if driver is using legacy style Codec/Platform, it will be converted to modern style on soc-core. This means, we are using glue code for legacy vs modern style so far on ALSA SoC. We can fully switch to modern style on all drivers if ALSA SoC supported modern style for CPU, and then, legacy style code will be removed from ALSA SoC. Untile then, we need to keep both legacy/modern style and its glue code. This patch adds such future plan and background on soc.h Signed-off-by: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
