So, the thing here is that while the numbers were totally OK for
platform device use they really don't fit into DT at all well.  I think
the thing here is to either have a node for the second CPU side DAI or
to have a single DT link automatically expanded into two DAI links.  I
think the second option is much better - there's only one link on the
board, it just happens to get expanded into two the way things are
currently implemented in ASoC.

This stuff probably also ought to be moved over to soc-pcm as well by
the way.
