You are right to say that it is not a machine constraint but a codec 
constraint. The problem is that if a DAI (say the "SN95031 Headset DAI") 
is opened with a 44.1 khz rate, then another DAI (say "SN95031 Voice") 
is opened with a 48 khz rate, then we need to reject the second open 
because the codec cannot support both rates at the same time.

Is there any way to do this with constraint_lists? The way it is done in 
the wm8988 driver does not apply here because there it is a single DAI.
