dai-tdm-slot-width is needed to override automatic slot width selection. It 
should always be 32 for HDMI, no matter what is actual physical sample width. 
In this case this property is abused to set width also for I2S mode of 
operation. IMO there is no sense to duplicate code because I2S variant would 
work exactly the same, except name would be different.

I'm not sure about dai-tdm-slot-num. Marcus, can you explain the need for this 
property?

Would it be better to implement separate link driver instead of using simple-
card to hide all this properties into the code?

Best regards,
