This is not the case for SoundWire masters on Intel platforms, Well the world is not PCI/ACPI... We have controllers which are DT described and work in same manner as a PCI device. > so even if I wanted to I would have no ability to implement any matching or > parent bus registration. > > Also the notion of 'probe' does not necessarily mean that the device is > attached to a bus, we use DAI 'drivers' in ASoC and still have probe/remove > callbacks. The "big" difference is that probe is called by core (asoc) and not by driver onto themselves..

Drivers _should_ never do all this, it is the job of core to do that for you. -- ~Vinod _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@alsa-project.org https://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
