There nothing stopping drivers from using McBSP/McPDM etc directly without the ABE as the do in OMAP3. Some people do this direct path for specific drivers.

Yep, we do sometimes add the "legacy" or direct DAI paths into ABE mach drivers as well (but really just for debug purposes). These DAIs are not used for any other audio use case except sometimes to debug.
