AudioReach is a new DSP signal processing framework Which is different 
to its previous DSP firmware(aka Elite).
It makes use of ASoC Topology to load audio graphs on to the DSP which 
is then managed by APM (Audio Processing Manager) service.

So internals are not exactly same.

 From device tree side we might end up with similar layout, but there 
are some subtle differences like clocks are managed by q6prm service 
instead of q6afe service in old firmware, front-end pcm dais definitions 
come from ASoC topology.

Are you suggesting that we should reuse the old bindings (q6afe, q6asm) 
by add new compatible strings along with differences ?

yes we need begins with '^' , will add that in next version.

Thats a good idea,

These are basically audio endpoint device ids which should be same 
across different audio firmwares.

I can rename this to dt-bindings/sound/qcom,adsp-audio-ports.h or 
something more generic to be able to reuse.
