The difference these 2 are, 1) compatible name 2) single port / multi port.
From ALSA SoC point of view, they are using different feature,
but from DT point of view, they are almost same.
Combine these are OK, but my question is can we use different "compatible" ?
Or same "compatible" but switch single/multi somehow ?

Best regards
