So what is missing from the McBSP driver is to configure the TDM. We
never had a hardware which would require it so it is _not_ implemented.

imho the 'only' thing is to implement the set_tdm_slot callback for the
McBSP DAI. In DT you would have single card with two dai_link section
and each section would set different tdm slots to use for the codecs
listening on different slots.

There is one issue for sure with this setup: the two PCM can not be used
at the same time. But we have one DMA channel so if you would open both
the PCM stream need to be set up in a way to match with the HW or create
a asound.conf file to do some mapping.
