If the number of ports is 1, the DAI name will be the one corresponding
to dai_drv[0]. If ARRAY_SIZE(dai_drv) > 1, this means users are forced
to specify all ports corresponding to the DAIs. For instance:

	(it is assumed that ARRAY_SIZE(dai_drv) is 2)

	[snippet taken from DTS]
	dai: my_dai@cafecafe {
		/* some more properties go here */

		ports {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			port@0 {
				reg = <0>;
				endpoint {
					/* specify remote here */
				};
			};

			port@1 {
				reg = <1>;
				endpoint {
					/* specify remote here */
				};
			};
		};
	};
	[/snippet taken from DTS]

This is problematic when users don't want to connect all ports. In the
above example, we're forced to specify all ports even if we want to
"connect" only port@1, for instance, to a remote endpoint.

Generally speaking, assuming that ARRAY_SIZE(dai_drv) is N, and we want to
connect a single port: i, we'd need to specify at least two ports in the
DTS so that "of_graph_get_endpoint_count(node) > 1" is evaluated to true
and the ID resulting from "graph_get_dai_id()" is taken into account.

Fix this by always using 1 as the number of arguments passed to
snd_soc_get_dlc(). This way, snd_soc_get_dlc() will use the ID computed
by graph_get_dai_id(), which takes the value of the 'reg' property into
account if specified.

Hi Laurentiu

Thank you for the patch

?? I think this is not a issue ?

It breaks existing many drivers / connections.

And I'm not 100% understand the situation.
Can I confirm ? your HW has N ports/DAIs, but want to use 2nd
port/DAI only for example. It is OK so far.
But you want to indicate only 1 port (= 2nd port) on DT,
and, your driver registers N DAI drivers anyway ?

If my assumption was correct, why you don't indicate N ports in DT ?
You need to do is not hack to utils, but update your driver to match
DT count and register driver count ?


Thank you for your help !!

Best regards
