You mean a like this:

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 0>
         frame-master = <&codec 0>;
         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>;
         };
     };
...

Yep, that makes sense when considering tdm setups with multiple codecs 
on the same wires.

Best regards,
Jyri
