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.
