- * DAI hardware signal inversions.
+ * DAI hardware signal polarity.
  *
  * Specifies whether the DAI can also support inverted clocks for the specified
  * format.
+ *
+ * BCLK:
+ * - "normal" polarity means signal is available at rising edge of BCLK
+ * - "inverted" polarity means signal is available at falling edge of BCLK
+ *
+ * FSYNC "normal" polarity depends on the frame format:
+ * - I2S: frame consists of left then right channel data. Left channel starts
+ *      with falling FSYNC edge, right channel starts with rising FSYNC edge.
+ * - Left/Right Justified: frame consists of left then right channel data.
+ *      Left channel starts with rising FSYNC edge, right channel starts with
+ *      falling FSYNC edge.
+ * - DSP A/B: Frame starts with rising FSYNC edge.
+ * - AC97: Frame starts with rising FSYNC edge.
+ *
+ * "Negative" FSYNC polarity is the one opposite of "normal" polarity.
