Sorry for confusing, It's not mux.

uniphier_srcport_reset() resets HW SRC (sampling rate converter) block.
Audio data out ports of UniPhier audio system have HW SRC.

This config is used to support or not LD11 SoC.
aio-ld11.c is not build and 'uniphier_aio_ldxx_spec' is undefined if this config is disabled.

aio-ld11.c defines SoC dependent resources (port, HW ring buffer, DMA ch, etc.)
and fixed settings.
I know it's better to move such information into device-tree, but register areas of
UniPhier's audio system is very strange and interleaved. It's hard to split each nodes...

Thanks, I'll try it. Is there Documentation in sound/designes/compress-offload.rst?
And best sample is... Intel's driver?


(Summary)
I think I should fix as follows:

  - Split DMA, DAI patches from large one
  - Validate parameters in hw_params
  - Add description about HW SRC (or fix bad name 'srcport')
  - Add comments about uniphier_aiodma_irq()
  - Expose clocking and audio routing to userspace, or at the very
    least machine driver configuration
  - Support compress-audio API for S/PDIF

and post V2.
