I'm not talking about issues returned by checkpatch, but issues
visible to the human observer.

It's not possible to build the nodes in 'dspbridge_samples.tar.gz'. It
seems the 'ti.bios' package is missing. Apparently the 'ti.rtdx'
package is missing too, but I don't think it's really required for
simple nodes.

The source for 'cexec' and 'dynreg' is present, so that's good.

Still, there's no base image binary. So now way of testing the nodes anyway.

Best regards.
