I mulled this over to just deprecate the property and I know removing 
these ABIs are not highly accepted.

But the support code for it was incomplete and if a user had it 
populated in the DT and we removed the support then there will be no 
functional change.

This property was supposed to set the RX edge SBCLK detection but this 
is done based on the dai format.

So removing the property will have no affect on the users.
