Yes, right. It can be any I2S controller. Just that, right now it is
wired to I2S0.

That was lack of understanding from my side. I was of the impression
that the back-end uses different DAI interfaces for aplay and arecord,
which certainly is not the case. I will remove the 'Capture' dai and
make 'Playback' dai as the primary DAI.

AFAICS, I2S driver doesn't support secondary DAI with DT (dai type is
always TYPE_PRI in case of DT). Hence I could not find a setup to test
secondary dai with this board.
