Hi Rob,

Thanks again for your review.

I am not yet ready to submit the binding or driver for the audio codec, as I
still need to work out the details for jack detection (and some other issues).
If I added the specific audio codec compatible now, without the properties
required for the sound driver, that would create backward compatibility issues,
right?

My intention is to add the specific compatible along with the ASoC support.

That is correct. The regulators have zero dependencies on the audio codec
resources (clocks/resets/etc.). The _only_ relationship is the overlapping
address of the MMIO register.

What do you suggest for 'ranges' in the parent device? I ask because the
SRAM/system controller binding requires an empty 'ranges' property.

With empty 'ranges', the child has to compute the relative address for use with
the parent's regmap, but maybe that is okay?

All four names match the pin names from the SoC datasheet.

I will fix these for v3.
