Adding a constraint solely based on current usage feels wrong.

A DAI provider in its generic form must have the sound-dai-cells to
provide one. It says nothing about how many parameters an actual device
might need. That is the idea behind this binding.

It is up to the device specific bindings to define that value.

If restricting things here is really important, defaulting to 0 (with a
comment explaining it) and letting actual devices then override the
value would feel less 'made up'
