Hi HariKrishna

Thank you for suggestion

Do you mean like this ?

	struct snd_soc_dai_ops {
		...
		const u64 *auto_selectable_formats;
	-	int num_auto_selectable_formats;
		...
	};

If my understanding was correct, unfortunately we can't do it.

We can use ARRAY_SIZE() in each driver, because we can access to raw array.
But can't use it on ASoC framework, becase auto_selectable_formats is just
a pointer. see how ARRAY_SIZE() is defined.

	--- driver ---
	my_formats[] = {
		[0] = SND_SOC_POSSIBLE_DAIFMT_xxx | SND_SOC_POSSIBLE_DAIFMT_xxx ...,
		[1] = SND_SOC_POSSIBLE_DAIFMT_xxx | SND_SOC_POSSIBLE_DAIFMT_xxx ...,
	};

	// We can use ARRAY_SIZE() in driver, because we know raw array.
	my_dai_ops = {
		...
		.auto_selectable_formats	= my_formats,
=>		.num_auto_selectable_formats	= ARRAY_SIZE(my_formats),
	};

	--- soc-xxx.c ---
	// it will be error, because we don't know its size
=>	int num = ARRAY_SIZE(ops->auto_selectable_formats);

Or do you mean create new macro, like this ?

	#define ASOC_SELECT_FORMATS(array)\
		.auto_selectable_formats	= array,
		.num_auto_selectable_formats	= ARRAY_SIZE(array)

	my_ops = {
		...
	-	.auto_selectable_formats	= my_formats,
	-	.num_auto_selectable_formats	= ARRAY_SIZE(my_formats),
	+	ASOC_SELECT_FORMATS(my_formats),
	};

Or am I misunderstanding your suggestion ?


Thank you for your help !!
