Not all controllers using the A31 SPDIF binding actually have some RX
capabilities, and therefore on some controllers we don't have the option to
set an RX DMA channel.

This was already done in the DTSI, but the binding itself was never
updated.

Really, the schema is saying rx is optional, but it doesn't really
matter here as the schema for each item is just 'description'.

Here it matters though. This would allow just 'tx', '"tx", "tx"', or
either order.

You need something like this:

oneOf:
  -  items:
       - const: rx
       - const: tx
  - const: tx

Ideally, we'd always put the required entry first and avoid this
problem. Not always possible if the first entry gets removed in later
h/w.

What should I do here then?

Remove the global description and leave only the one under items?

Also, it won't necessarily match the dma-names (since rx might be
there or not), does it matter or is it obvious enough that we don't
care?

Ok.

One of the question I was wondering myself when I wrote those schemas
is how are we supposed to deal with lists that need to have a
particular set of values, but without any particular order?

rx and tx here is a good example of that. We need both (let's leave
the "missing RX" case aside for a minute), but since we reference them
by name, '"rx", "tx"' is strictly equivalent to '"tx", "rx"'. Yet,
items cares about the order, so the latter would fail to validate with
that schemas.

Should we do something like:

oneOf:
  - items:
    - const: rx
    - const: tx
  - items:
    - const: tx
    - const: rx

or is there a smarter way?

Thanks!
Maxime

I think the opposite. Just drop 'items' and leave 'description'.

'items' can be a list or dictionary. When it's a dictionary, the
schema for 'items' is applied to each item. For example:

items:
  enum: [ rx, tx ]
  uniqueItems: true

'uniqueItems' prevents the case of 'rx, rx' or 'tx, tx'.

Even when we reference things by name, the order should be defined
still. Using names allows for skipping entries.

If you have a mixture, I'd prefer to see dts files cleaned-up.

Oh, so that's how you use uniqueItems. I've been struggling with it to
cover the ALSA routing options that will have non-unique strings, but
string-array didn't let me. I'll test that.

That works for me, thanks!
