Right, that's about the only way it could work.

To represent that in DT, I would imagine we'd need something like this:

	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <0>;
	...
        port@1 {                        /* AP1,2 = I2S */
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;
                port-type = "i2s";
                reg = <0x01>;		/* WS */
                tda998x_i2s1: endpoint@2 {
			reg = <0x02>;	/* AP1 */
                        remote-endpoint = <&audio1_i2s>;
                };
                tda998x_i2s2: endpoint@4 {
			reg = <0x04>;	/* AP2 */
                        remote-endpoint = <&audio2_i2s>;
                };
        };

where audio1_i2s is operating in master mode, and audio2_i2s is
operating in slave mode for both WS and SCLK.

If we can agree on that, then I'm happy with the proposed binding.
(Remember that #address-cells and #size-cells are required in the
parent where we have reg= in the child.)
