@Lars, @Mark,

Yes, then will that means that we can just end up parsing masks from DT
and the masks will be generated by the driver specified
dai->driver->ops->of_xlate_tdm_slot_mask(slots, &tx_mask, &rx_mask)
callback or one default
snd_soc_of_xlate_tdm_slot_mask(slots, &tx_mask, &rx_mask), and the
'slots' is the number of the slot parsed from the DT node ?

Or other better ways ?


Thanks,
