told me that he only tested the aif1 path in the release while
leaving aif2 and aif3 for future use.

In his schematics of the reference board, I found all three aifs
are "connected" but AIF2 and AIF3 are optional through jumpers.
So I think it might be better for him to make the driver flexible
by including all three aifs while creating dai-links depending on
the presence of corresponding cpu-dais.
