We are currently using simple-audio-card on the Allwinner A64 SoC. The digital audio codec there (sun8i-codec) has 3 AIFs, one each for the CPU, the modem, and Bluetooth. Adding support for the secondary AIFs requires adding codec2codec DAI links. Since the modem and bt-sco codec DAI drivers only have one set of possible PCM parameters (namely, 8kHz mono S16LE), there's no real need for a machine driver to specify the DAI link configuration. The parameters for these "simple" DAI links can be chosen automatically. This series adds codec2codec DAI link support to simple-audio-card. Codec to codec links are automatically detected when DAIs in the link belong to codec components. I tried to reuse as much code as possible, so the first two patches refactor a couple of helper functions to be more generic. The last patch adds the new feature and its documentation.
