We have definitely used it in out of tree code for some phones in our times. Whilst I don't feel super strongly, I would say it seems like fairly reasonable functionality and it does no harm, so I would vote to keep it. Thanks, Charles

Now I've been reminded of it, it's a useful function because our I2S/TDM DAIs have configurable tri-stating. If we remove the function the alternative of using a pinmux driver is a lot of overhead. But the kerneldoc description is not very good: "Tristates the DAI so that others can use it." That makes it sound like it disables the DAI. Should it say "Set the DAI TX pin to be hi-impedance in TDM slots where it is not transmitting"?

OK, I have no strong opinion if there is a user. let's keep it Thank you for your help !! Best regards --- Kuninori Morimoto
