This would be better imo.

And ideally we should also keep the xB_xF identical like Mark said _identical_.
Just some cpu dai drivers might do an incorrect settings for it, like regarding
NB as sampling on rising edge and IF as active low (I'm saying this without a
careful check though), which results people need to re-set bitclock-invert and
frame-invert if they switch the DAI format from left_j to i2s for example.

Thank you,
