Hi Rob

Thank you for your feedback

Hmm.. I will consider about that.

Current ALSA SoC basically needs CPU/Codec/Card drivers.
If we use this new simple sound card, DT needs only CPU/Codec.
Card part will be created from CPU by using compatible = "xxx"
(= Card driver itself is needed, but no DT)

This "Card" part is related to its whole sound system.
If you want to use normal sound system, it will be "simple-card",
if you want to use feature sound system, it will be "xxxx-card".
This time, I'm focusing to simple one, someone will create xxxx-card,
but it is not me :)

These were "Card" part property, not ak4613 property.
It indicates which can be master (CPU or Codec) on sound system.

I'm sorry, maybe your confusing is because this sample.
This playback/capture are Renesas CPU specific properties.
Renesas CPU port needs to know CPU-inside connection.

I'm sorry, same comment.
This "playback" is Renesas CPU specific property.
It indicating Renesas CPU inside connection
