Hi Nícolas,

From software point, I2S8 and I2S9 belong to different hardware, so if
you turn off I2S8 with CMD1, of course it will not affect I2S9.

CMD1:
amixer cset name='UL2_CH1 I2S8_CH1' 0
amixer cset name='UL2_CH2 I2S8_CH2' 0

Frome hardware point, I2S9 will use(share) I2S8's clock. If we don't
want the user to perceive this, the driver need to help do something.
So this property 'i2s9-share = "I2S8";' will be added to inform the
driver.
