[v4,0/3] simple-audio-card codec2codec support

Message

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 all 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.

Changes in v4:
  - Rebased on top of asoc/for-next, several changes to patch 2
  - Removed unused variable from patch 3
Changes in v3:
  - Update use of for_each_rtd_components for v5.6
Changes in v2:
  - Drop patch 1 as it was merged
  - Automatically detect codec2codec links instead of using a DT property

Samuel Holland (3):
  ALSA: pcm: Add a standalone version of snd_pcm_limit_hw_rates
  ASoC: pcm: Export parameter intersection logic
  ASoC: simple-card: Add support for codec2codec DAI links
