>From Andrew's datasheet, the TDA998x's which are handled by the tda998x
driver have only 4 input audio pins, the first two ones being either
S/PDIF or I2s, the last ones being I2S only.

So, the DT description could be reduced to a simple list indexed by
the pin number (= DAI number) and defining the protocol type.

Examples:

- for the Cubox:

	audio-inputs = "i2s", "spdif";

- for some other board with I2S on the pins 3 and 4 only:

	audio-inputs = "none", "none", "i2s", "i2s";

- for a fully wired TDA9983B (no driver yet):

	audio-inputs = "i2s", "i2s", "i2s", "i2s", "spdif";
