What are "primary" and "secondary" here? If they are broadly unrelated except for the clocking (which is what this sounds like) then they probably should be handled as separate DAIs.
I thought about this, but can I do stereo with two seperate DAIs?
Again, what are "primary" and "secondary"?
Please have a look at page 3 of:

Maybe this explains best the situation we have here. Right in the middle of the diagram you see the A/D converters in the Voice Codec. As you see it has two monaural A/D converters. One of them is the primary, the other is the secondary converter (don't ask me which of them is which, I'd had to lookup myself) The input sources of these ADCs can't be controlled completely independent and they are designed to be used for example with two microphones in a mobile phone. (I guess that's why they call them 'primary' and 'secondary', not 'left' and 'right'). But of course you can also do stereo with them.
