The classD can finish the audio function without other devices.
But I want to reuse the code in ASoC, leave many things(like creating 
PCM, DMA operations) to ASoC, then the driver can only focus on how to 
configure classD.
The classD IP is divided to tree parts logically, platform, CPU dai,
and codec, and these parts are registered to ASoC.

This separate DT node is needed in ASoC, ties these tree parts in ClassD.
