How asoc builds this is based on dailinks you have provided. If for the
device 2 and device 3 the cpu and codec dais support both playback and
capture devices, it will go ahead and register these device.
The fact that for device 2 and device 3 capture is also registered
suggests me that your cpu dais are not correct.

Would help if you post your code, esp the codec, cpu dais and dialinks.
