Currently, ASOC doesn't allow sharing cpu or codec dai.

Correct.

Though outside this topic, please see latest code from samsung GIT.
I already share wm8580 dai with I2S primary_fifo dai as well
as secondary_fifo dai. I implemented temporary workaround to share
dais(luckily codec_dai wasn't used in a way to make it impossible,
though cpu_dai still can't be shared).
Also, there is some reason I didn't point to our repository:- the code is
not meant for mainline. It's just a 'workaround' for urgent requirement.

Now, I wud like to get back to getting suggestions about how to
approach the solution from mainline's POV rather than discussing
Samsung's internal code.
