There are no significant differences across Odroid X, Odroid-X2, Odroid-U3
and Odroid-XU3 with regards to the audio subsystem so add more entries
to the compatible strings list.

These are the same so I think they should not get separate
compatibles. By definition [2] the compatible expresses the
compatibility with family of devices. In this case - these belong to
the same family.

The same applies to patch 5/5 (implementation of this).

Best regards,
Krzysztof

compatibility with a family of similar devices, potentially allowing a
single device driver to match against several devices."

I don't see a problem with adding the compatibles - the software
handling might be identical but it's not really causing a problem to
explicit document which board it is if people want.  It may end up
coming in useful at some point if there's some mechanical/plastics
difference which ends up being useful to handle (though that's much less
likely for dev boards like this than for finished products).  But
equally it's not essential, whatever you two decide.

Given that everything except XU4 is already obsoleted, are we going to use
"hardkernel,odroid-xu3-audio" for Odroid X and Odroid U3?

We could also make it:
"hardkernel,odroid-xu3-audio", "hardkernel,odroid-x-audio" - for Odroid X, Odroid X2
"hardkernel,odroid-xu3-audio", "hardkernel,odroid-u3-audio" - for Odroid U3

And in the driver wee would only have "hardkernel,odroid-xu3-audio", while dts
would contain detailed compatible.

Add only these compatibles which are different. If the binding is the
same, then there is no point of adding new compatible.

If such difference in binding appears, then it is not a problem to add
new compatible. It is however more difficult to remove or change
existing binding...

Best regards,
Krzysztof
