One of the suggestions is to use two DAIs. but sometimes the CPU/CODEC may have the same format for playback and capture, then one DAI is enough. it means that we need to define 3 DAIs for the CPU/CODEC, one supports playback and capture, another two support capture and playback separately, is it some kind of duplicate?
So I'd like to extend the set_fmt() interface, but this impacts all the drivers.
I'm not sure having two DAIs is an issue if you have them running the smae format - does it cause any practical problems or is it just that it doesn't seem elegant to you? There were quite a few devices that pretty much just had two unidirectional DAIs, in those cases it seems like a sensible representation for the hardware. If you can set unrelated formats on transmit and receive then it's not clear that it's actually the same DAI in anything except logical labelling.
