After experimenting, two ACPI companion devices approach,
we got an update from Windows team, there is a limitation
on windows stack. For current platform, we can't proceed
with two ACPI companion devices.

Even on Linux side, if we create two ACPI companion devices
followed by creating a single soundwire manager instance per
Soundwire controller, we have observed an issue in a scenario,
where similar codec parts(UID are also same) are connected on
both soundwire manager instances.

As per MIPI Disco spec, for single link controllers Link ID should
be set to zero.
If we use Link ID as zero, for the soundwire manager which is on
the second soundwire controller ACPI device scope, then soundwire
framework is not allowing to create peripheral device node as its
duplicate one.

If we want to support two ACPI companion device approach
on our future platforms, how to proceed?
