I think we want an explicit object in the card representing the DAIs. This will both be useful for making it easy to find the configuration for the link and will be more extensible for the cases where multiple devices are connected, you can't just assume there's just two.

I don't see the problem: the 'port' is the DAI. The associated endpoints give the DAI links and the routing information.

As the DT definition has been done for video, some properties may be added at will for audio.

What kind of object were you thinking of?
