The associated machine driver is not dependent on the format of DAI link
node names. This means we are allowed to use more descriptive names
instead of indices without impacting functionality.

Update the binding to accept arbitrary DAI link names with a "-dai-link"
suffix. This is the common pattern used by the target (MT8188) and other
(MT8195, MT8186 etc.) MediaTek-based Chromebooks.

We do not want arbitrary names. Why for example green-batman-dai-link
should be correct? The existing pattern looks wrong. Please read DT spec
and chapter about recommended names.

This breaks existing users.

No. Not really justified.

At first I was thinking about regex like
`^[a-z-]+(-[a-z]+)*-dai-link$` based on the DTS coding style guide,
but your example is not suggesting that.
and the name like "hs-capture-dai-link" was rejected, so it's not just
about enumerating the names either.
Or "^dai-link@[0-9a-f]+$"? But they don't tie to particular register
addresses... or just for some pseudo indices?
I could miss something about DAI links under the sound documentation.
Still trying to figure it out.

There's no existing users in upstream, and the only downstream user is
the MT8188 Chromebook DT that I'm trying to upstream, which I can fix.
This binding was upstreamed exclusively for that DT.
Even if we take a step back and assume someone has another DT already
following this pattern (and that would be a surprise), this wouldn't
break anything except a dtbs_check error, which would be trivial if
they don't run that or attempt upstreaming. The driver doesn't use
node names to distinguish DAI links.
I want to fix this pattern before any actual users are in the tree if
possible, but I'm also fine to stick with dai-link-0 to dai-link-10 in
the case that nothing is changed and the DT has to follow the existing
patterns.

Regards,
Fei

You did not provide any reasoning why this has to be changed and why
usually preferred generic dai-link is not correct. Names are not
descriptive.

So you have entire commit msg to explain impact.
