Hi Sameer

Thank you for explaining detail at off-list mail.

Your issue happen on (C) case, and you are tring to solve it.
It is easy to understand if it was indicated at log area.
I have imagined other system from "multiple CPU/Codec support".

	(A)    (B)
	FE <-> BE

	(C)    (D)
	BE <-> BE

This seems very complex system for current simple-card.
"concept" of simple-card is simple (but "code" is not so simple...)
Because of it, it doesn't assume flexible connection.

Maybe your patch works for you, but might breaks other systems.
Or, makes code or DT settings more complex/ununderstandable.
Not sure, but my guess.

Using cpu@0 node for BE is the 1st confusable point for me.
Using fe/be instead of cpu/codec is easy to understand.

Thank you for your help !!

Best regards
