I don't follow the rationale for this change.

This looks like a pointless renaming.

Why is this any better?

This is originally to indicate whether the LSB firstly or MSB firstly will be
transmitted to the CODEC or received from the CODEC, and there has nothing
Relation to the memory data.

Generally, if the audio data in big endian format, which will be using the bytes
Reversion ? Here this can only be used to bits reversion.

That's why I suggested previously: mention it in the commit comment.

People will have no idea about what's the exact reason for this change.
Any functional enhancement? Or a bug fix(more likely for this one).
I'm not sure what I described in the previous mail is correct or not.
But you probably should have added it into the commit comments.

And Xiubo, this patch still hasn't fixed the issue of breaking the old DT,
although system can pass during the probe() section.

Thank you,
Nicolin

Beside LS1+, who else is using this now ? And the LS1 dts files are still doing
The upstream for now.

Right, this is a good idea - make sure people can understand what the
goal of the change is.
