Yeah, I'm not sure about that.

Though the DP3 PHY is currently used as eDP, I think it could be used
as DP. So I think it makes more sense to keep the DP3 controller as is
in the SoC dtsi and delete the #sound-dai-cells property in each board
specific dts. Don't know if it will ever be the case with this SoC, but
maybe someone will use DP3 with the PHY configured as DP rather than
eDP.

Not sure if I'm 100% right about this though.

Dmitry, Bjorn, do you think that is accurate enough?
