So you always have 4 timeslot and that's it?

The McBSP TDM configuration is not master only.
You basically tell McBSP on which timeslot to transmit/receive.
Let's say you have two codecs connected to a single McBSP.
codec1 is configured to listen for timeslot 0/1
codec2 is configured to listen for timeslot 2/3

If you open a stereo stream to codec1 then you tell McBSP to
send/receive the data under timeslot 0/1 and ignore any other timeslots.

If you open a stereo stream to codec2 then you tell McBSP to
send/receive the data under timeslot 2/3 and ignore any other timeslots.

For codec1 you don't really need anything regarding to TDM configuration
as McBSP will send/receive right after the start condition on the FS,
but for codec2 you need to configure the TDM mode of McBSP to ignore
timeslot 0/1

Hrm, do you have two DAIs on the PMIC side or different timeslots from
the TDM stream is routed to different outputs, similarly to twl6040
where timeslot 0/1 is Headset, timeslot 2/3 is Handsfree and timeslot 5
is to drive a vibra?

No, the set_tdm_slot is applicable for both master and slave mode of McBSP.
