I don't think this makes any more sense than the current version. You still
iterate over all dai instances and call the xlate function for the first dai
where the _parent_ device's of_node matches. You also pass in the this dai
as the first parameter to the xlate function, which makes even less sense
since you can use it to lookup the correct name, which may either be the
dai's name or any of its siblings.

If you want to use the xlate paradigm you really need to keep track of the
cpu devices and make the xlate callback a property of the cpu device. Well
or use a match paradigm instead of xlate.
