It is required to properly interpret the list of DAI specified in the 'sound-dai'
property. If a device supports only one DAI it will have #sound-dai-cells = <0>
and the sound-dai property values in cpu<->codec link may look like this:

 cpu { ... }
 codec {
	 sound-dai = <&max98090>, <&hdmi>;
 };

When the CODEC support more DAIs it will have #sound-dai-cells = <1> and we can
additionally specify which DAI we exactly refer to, in this case DAI 0:

 cpu { ... }
 codec {
	sound-dai = <&max98095 0>, <&hdmi>;
 };

More details can be found in documentation of of_parse_phandle_with_args()
function.

The above refers to cpu/codec mapping like I2S0 -> [max9809x, hdmi], on Exynos5433
we have I2S0 -> wm5110 and I2S1 -> hdmi.
