Is it really necessary to change the property name here? I woudl think that you can make it all work more consistently with just the existing 'sound-dai' property, just extend it to allow multiple codecs
This was an idea from Benoit Cousson:
"Something like that:
sound-dais = <&spdif_codec 1>, <&hdmi 0>;
That being said, it will require changing the name with a plural form,"
As I coded it, both names are accepted for a single or many codecs.
I don't see a strong reason for coming up with a plural form. If you really have to, then please list the old form as a deprecated alias and make the document talk about "sound-dais" as the preferred form independent of the number of arguments.
