I'm not 100% sure I get why we have the separate _POSSIBLE_ macros here?
One thing we'll have to take account of is that there's some DAIs that
have some restrictions on what options they can combine - for example
only doing I2S with one format of clock but allowing clock inversion in
DSP mode.  It might be safer (if tedious for driver authors without some
help...) to just have arrays of fully specified daifmt values.

Like I said on the cover letter I think we need to be able to specify at
least two levels of preference here.  How about

	int snd_soc_dai_get_fmt(struct snd_soc_dai *dai,
				u64 *preferred, u64 *supported);

or something?  Just thinking off the top of my head, that's a bit ugly
and doesn't scale to multiple levels so I don't know if I'm *super*
happy with that interface.  But we might be better off using just arrays
of daifmt values like I say, if we do that perhaps just one array but
sorting it might do?

If the sound card specifies something why not just use it verbatim
instead of trying to merge?
