Yeah, I agree.

No this is not going to be used only for a specific machine... so yeah your
thoughts are totally right.

Just as an example, MT8188 (Kompanio) and MT8390 (Genio) are the same SoC again,
like MT8195 (Kompanio) and MT8395 (Genio) - so this driver is also going to be
used for the Genio 700 EVK, other than some SBC, etc, which do anyway expose I2S
pins on some kind of header, so... :-)

Cheers!
