The 'link-name' property is an optional DT property that allows for the
customization of the name associated with the DAI link and PCM stream.
This functionality mirrors the approach commonly utilized in Qualcomm
audio cards, providing flexibility in DAI naming conventions for
improved system integration and userspace experience.

It allows userspace program to easy determine PCM stream purpose, e.g.:
    ~ # cat /proc/asound/pcm
    00-00: speaker (*) :  : playback 1
    00-01: mics (*) :  : capture 1
    00-02: loopback (*) :  : capture 1

As explained in patch #2, I think this change is wrong.
The names below describe a possible userspace usage of the interface,
not HW. This does not belong in DT.

The only valid name for the interface is one that helps map the PCM
interface and the kcontrols exposed in userspace.

This information is already available through dai_name, prefixes, etc.

Using DT for this is bad, in the context of these particular sound
cards at least.
