The reason why I need "dai-name" is that phandle can select "cpu/codec device"
itself, but, it can't select "port".
This port is called/controlled as "xxx_dai_name" on ASoC I think.

like this

+-------------+
| FSI  port A |--> ak4642
|      port B |--> HDMI
+-------------+

Then, I would like to ask Stephen, Mark

>> Mark

Now, "codec_dai_name" is must item in ASoC, but "cpu_dai_name" is option.
I guess codec can use same matching method like cpu.
Can I modify codec side method ?

>> Stephen

Some board needs port selection.
Can you agree that simple-audio has "port" (= dai-name) property as option ?

Best regards
