Yap, your concern may be correct. This change is really becuase our default register
is badly defined. it choose TDM CH12 from 'DATA1' and CH34 from 'DATA2'. If it can
choose both default to either one, this doesn't make it confused. Also, there's the
another option is 'to tell user if TDM will be used, plase connect 'DATA1' and 'DATA2'
together'. But our datasheet did not directly define this.

I'll prepare another patch to define a device property, parsing at probe function and
configure this input source source directly in 'set_tdm_slot' API when TDM is chosen
to use.

Thanks for all the comment.
