+ASoC currently supports the three main Digital Audio Interfaces (DAI) found on
+SoC controllers and portable audio CODECS today, namely AC97, I2S and PCM.
+
+
+AC97
+====
+
+  AC97 is a five wire interface commonly found on many PC sound cards. It is
+now also popular in many portable devices. This DAI has a reset line and time
+multiplexes its data on its SDATA_OUT (playback) and SDATA_IN (capture) lines.
+The bit clock (BCLK) is always driven by the CODEC (usually 12.288MHz) and the
+frame (FRAME) (usually 48kHz) is always driven by the controller. Each AC97
+frame is 21uS long and is divided into 13 time slots.
+
+The AC97 specification can be found at :-
+http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/audio/ac97_r23.pdf
+
+
+I2S
+===
+
+ I2S is a common 4 wire DAI used in HiFi, STB and portable devices. The Tx and
+Rx lines are used for audio transmision, whilst the bit clock (BCLK) and
+left/right clock (LRC) synchronise the link. I2S is flexible in that either the
+controller or CODEC can drive (master) the BCLK and LRC clock lines. Bit clock
+usually varies depending on the sample rate and the master system clock
+(SYSCLK). LRCLK is the same as the sample rate. A few devices support separate
+ADC and DAC LRCLK's, this allows for similtanious capture and playback at
+different sample rates.
+
+I2S has several different operating modes:-
+
+ o I2S - MSB is transmitted on the falling edge of the first BCLK after LRC
+         transition.
+
+ o Left Justified - MSB is transmitted on transition of LRC.
+
+ o Right Justified - MSB is transmitted sample size BCLK's before LRC
+                     transition.
+
+PCM
+===
+
+PCM is another 4 wire interface, very similar to I2S, that can support a more
+flexible protocol. It has bit clock (BCLK) and sync (SYNC) lines that are used
+to synchronise the link whilst the Tx and Rx lines are used to transmit and
+receive the audio data. Bit clock usually varies depending on sample rate
+whilst sync runs at the sample rate. PCM also supports Time Division
+Multiplexing (TDM) in that several devices can use the bus similtaniuosly (This
+is sometimes referred to as network mode).
+
+Common PCM operating modes:-
+
+ o Mode A - MSB is transmitted on falling edge of first BCLK after FRAME/SYNC.
+
+ o Mode B - MSB is transmitted on rising edge of FRAME/SYNC.
