A customer could have the following working configuration
- pin 1: DMIC_CLK
- pin 24: LINEIN2R
- pin 25: DMICDAT2
- pin 26: LINEIN2L
- pin 27: DMICDAT1
with no shared pins: here there's the chance to select DMIC1, DMIC2 and
LINEIN2 at runtime: I can't find a reason for a fixed behavior.
Can you please elaborate ?
