Okay, that's good to know.

I in fact considered that when I started working on it; after all, A2B 
stands for "automotive audio bus". The reason why I didn't do it was the 
fact that these devices certainly do have multiple functions, where 
audio is just one of them, and there needs to be a 'top-level' layer 
that enables all these functions and does the node discovery etc. Hence 
I thought it's cleaner to separate things that way.

I can move things over to the ASoC layer for the next iteration, and 
then maybe also merge the codec driver with the baseline drivers. Let's 
see how this looks like then.


Thanks,
Daniel
