At first I was thinking about regex like
`^[a-z-]+(-[a-z]+)*-dai-link$` based on the DTS coding style guide,
but your example is not suggesting that.
and the name like "hs-capture-dai-link" was rejected, so it's not just
about enumerating the names either.
Or "^dai-link@[0-9a-f]+$"? But they don't tie to particular register
addresses... or just for some pseudo indices?
I could miss something about DAI links under the sound documentation.
Still trying to figure it out.

There's no existing users in upstream, and the only downstream user is
the MT8188 Chromebook DT that I'm trying to upstream, which I can fix.
This binding was upstreamed exclusively for that DT.
Even if we take a step back and assume someone has another DT already
following this pattern (and that would be a surprise), this wouldn't
break anything except a dtbs_check error, which would be trivial if
they don't run that or attempt upstreaming. The driver doesn't use
node names to distinguish DAI links.
I want to fix this pattern before any actual users are in the tree if
possible, but I'm also fine to stick with dai-link-0 to dai-link-10 in
the case that nothing is changed and the DT has to follow the existing
patterns.
