Thanks for the pointers! If I understand this correctly, the OF graph
simple-card method would replace my current simple-card dts usage for
hikey?   Other then just having another out-of-tree patchset to track,
I don't have any objection to trying to use the OF graph simple-card
method in the hikey dts (though I suspect I'll have to pester you for
help when I give it a shot).

Laurent: So this seems to be mostly just a "which implementation do we
use" question for the hikey dts,  and it seems like the adv7511 audio
driver I'm submitting here has any ties to either the graph or normal
simple card method. Is that correct? Are there any changes to the
adv7511 audio support patch you'd like to see or should I just
resubmit it?

thanks
