The same question got asked and answered in another subthread but for
the record I'm speaking here about the back end DAIs - there should be
one for S/PDIF and one for I2S.  With DPCM there should also be a front
end DAI for the DMA.  I've cut a bunch of other discussion which was
duplicated in that subthread.

If you need to define operations for the dummy driver then modify the
dummy driver.  However as indicated in the other thread you should not
be using the dummy DAI driver for the CPU side back end.
