Jean-Francois,

as Mark Brown already took the bindings patch for above generic
compatible, how are we going to discriminate different
implementations/features of Dove, Kirkwood, and Armada 370?

I agree that mvebu-audio is not a really good compatible string. It
should use the first SoC that introduced the IP block, so that if
future SOCs have variations, we can introduce separate compatible
strings.

So for now, the compatible string should be kirkwood-audio.

Unfortunately, mvebu-audio has already been taken by Mark. Also, we
know the differences for the three SoCs now and should have a compatible
for each (and maybe mvebu-audio for fallback).

Also, we'll need to distinguish between the different audio controllers
on a single SoC, i.e. i2s0 and i2s1. I suggest checking the (phys) reg
base passed.
