I vote for the version above. As Mark said there is need for dai 
specific properties.

While we are at it we could update the bitclock-master and frame-master 
syntax to be like this:

bitclock-master = "cpu"
frame-master = "codec"

With the above explicit definition all the daifmt settings could be 
defined in link level. For backwards compatibility we could still define 
that omitting the value equals "codec" and omitting the property equals 
"cpu".

It may sometimes be helpful to allow overwriting link level settings in 
dai level. In order to do that it should be possible to write all daifmt 
settings explicitly like this:

bitclock-inversion = <0>; /* <0> = no bitclock-inversion */

If backward compatibility is necessary we could recognize the syntax 
version from the existence dai-link node.

sound {
	compatible = "simple-audio-card";
	simple-audio-card,name = "Simple Audio";
	simple-audio-card,widgets = ...
	simple-audio-card,routing = ...

	simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 {		/* I2S - codec */
		format = "i2s";
		bitclock-master = "codec";
		frame-master = "codec";
		bitclock-inversion = <1>;
		simple-audio-card,cpu {
			sound-dai = <&audio1 0>;
			bitclock-inversion = <0>;
		};
		simple-audio-card,codec {
			sound-dai = <&codec 0>;
			system-clock-frequency = <12000000>;
		};
	};
...

I can participate in the implementation too.

Best regards,
Jyro
