[PATCH v6 1/2] ASoC: fsl: Add S/PDIF CPU DAI driver

[Nicolin Chen]

Hi Bhushan,

   Thank you for the comments :)
   I'll fix some in v7.

   Here is my some replies to you.

I've referred some ASoC drivers, all of them seem to be brief as mine.
So I'm not sure what else information I should provide here. It's already
kinda okay to me.

They are more like offsets to get the correspond pointer.
But I'll change the confusing comments.

IMHO, this should be fine. It's a void type function and being used
in the isr(). The params 'name' is totally controlled by driver itself,
so basically we don't need to worry about the default path.

Ditto, it's being used in isr(), we don't need to detect the return value,
just use dev_err() to warn users and let the driver clear the irq.

That's the behavior needed by IP, according to the reference manual:
"U Channel receive register full, can't be cleared with reg. IntClear.
To clear it, read from U Rx reg." and "Q Channel receive register full,
can't be cleared with reg. IntClear. To clear it, read from Q Rx reg."

We here suppose the reset bit would be cleared -- "The software reset
will last 8 cycles." from RM, so if this happened to be a failure, the
whole IP module won't be normally working as well.

Well, but I don't mind to put here an extra failed return to make it
clear.

This was provided by Philipp Zabel in his review at patch v3.
It's pretty clear to me that it just reverses the bits for u8.
I don't think this logic has any problem and the mask here 
doesn't look like any hardcode to me.

The "return true" would do that. For volatile registers, if no "return true"
here, the whole regmap would use the value in cache, while for some bits
we need to trace its true value from the physical registers not from cache.
