Yes, because on our board, the audio connection by hardware really is such:
                   |-- max98357a
i2s0 <==> |-- rt5514
                   | -- da7219

We do need to support max98357a / rt5514 / da7219 via i2s0 on the same 
board for RK3399.

I remember that it will be failed if we register card with i2s0 more 
times. Therefore, I chose this mothod that create 3 dai-links on one 
machine driver.

Thanks.
