Unfortunately not.
The CPB and IVI while using different McASP (10 for CPB, 0 for IVI) and
different clock pin is used for the SCKI of the codecs on CPB and IVI,
they are actually coming from the same source from within the SoC.
The inter-dependency between the two audio domains are fragile and I
have spent countless hours to figure out a way to masquerade the unique
setup as generic. Did not worked out, it needs a custom machine driver
to be able to handle the setup.
