Seems that '#sound-dai-cells' is required mandatorily in case of Exynos5422 because Odroid XU3/4 Audio driver checks this property, and the driver returns error if the property doesn't exist in its device tree. And if other SoCs - Exynos4210/4212/5250/5420/5433 - require this property with additional driver works later then this property would also be required mandatorily for them not optionally. In this case we may need to modify the description again. So my opinion is to add only the description required mandatorily if I understood correctly.
