ASoC.

Why is this in the DT - it sounds like this is just an internal
implementation detail for Linux, not a property of the hardware.

We'd normally leave these up to the machine driver to set as they're
link wide things for system integration.  The bits per frame in
particular looks like something that's not going to be fixed by the
hardware and could be varied at runtime.

This sounds like it's replicating the DT standard status property?

What does this mean?  It looks like it's setting the number of channels
which again seems like a runtime thing.
