This property can be global in which case all links created will be DPCM
or present in certian dai-link subnode in which case only that specific
link is forced to be DPCM.

DPCM is an implementation detail of Linux (and one that we want to phase
out going forwards too), we shouldn't be putting it in the DT bindings
where it becomes an ABI.

Hi Mark,

I see your point. This is way I marked the patch series as RFC. I need to find
another way to reuse simple-card as machine driver for SOF.

thanks,
Daniel.

Have a look at the way the Renesas systems are using this and the audio
graph card - they have DPCM.

Indeed we (= Renesas) are using this as DPCM, but unfortunately
it is not upstreamed. Using local patch.

Thank you for your help !!

I mean DT part.

Thank you for your help !!
