Ok, I'm trying to do this now, and I'm running into problems.

So here's the device list:

One machine
One SSI
Two DMA channels
One codec

So I create two dai_links in the machine driver.  Each dai_link has
two DAIs in it.  The DAIs are identical, except for the platform_drv
field.  The platform_drv in the first DAI points to the first DMA
channel, and the platform_drv of the second DAI points to the second
DMA channel.

When I boot Linux, I get this:

asoc: cs4270 <-> /soc@e0000000/ssi@16000 mapping ok
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/soc-audio/cs4270'

so it looks like when asoc is processing the dai_link, it tries to
create a sysfs device for the codec twice.

How do I avoid this?
