Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for your kindly work.

Sorry for my mistake. Fixed in new version.

On loongson platform, the I2S controllers connect different codecs to
form different audio devices that can be driven by the same machine driver.
The "generic audio card" refers to these audio devices.

Currently, it can match some specific hardware, such as
2k2000 + es8323: the 2k2000 is a loogson SoC with a I2S controller
7a2000 + es8288: the 7a2000 is a bridge chip with a I2S controller

Yes.  The audio device has only one channel.
