On mx28evk there are two DAIs connected to a single sgtl5000:

- One corresponds to the serial audio interface 0 (SAIF0) and it is
playback only

- The other corresponds to the serial audio interface 1 (SAIF1) and it
is capture only.

Should I create and pass device tree bindings like "playback-only" and
"capture-only", so that we can avoid having both playback and capture
capabilities for SAIF0 and SAIF1?

Or is there already a mechanism in place that I can use to configure a
DAI as unidirectional?

Thanks,
