@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,
