Yeah, this is parsed by the ‘macaudio’ machine driver from the series.

I fill in a single snd_soc_dai_link, it exposes a single PCM and works
like a charm. That is as long as I patch the playback/capture check in
question.
I read that to be the clear intention of ASoC code: a DAI link becomes
one snd_soc_pcm_runtime.
