I was thinking it should make something similar by making it clear that
we're just doing the same thing to a different location rather than lots
of conditional code to follow.

Not commonly - normally people don't implement anything except plain I2S
mode, or have explict mode and inversion bits (so the mode sets the
expected polarity and then the inversion bit swaps that).

Hrm, slightly fiddly.  Perhaps we want a function people can call which
will generate the secondary DAI name for you?  Might be more directly
what people want.
