Vinod, I double-checked that we do not indeed have a call to 
snd_soc_dai_dma_data(), but there is code in cdns_set_stream() that sets 
the relevant dai->playback/capture_dma_data, see below

I am not a big fan of this code, touching the ASoC core internal fields 
isn't a good idea in general.

Also not sure why for a DAI we need both _drvdata and _dma_data 
(especially for this case where the information stored has absolutely 
nothing to do with DMAs).

If the idea was to keep a context that is direction-dependent, that's 
likely unnecessary. For the Intel/Cadence case the interfaces can be 
configured as playback OR capture, not both concurrently, so the "dma" 
information could have been stored in the generic DAI _drvdata.

I have other things to look into for now but this code will likely need 
to be cleaned-up at some point to remove unnecessary parts.

int cdns_set_sdw_stream(struct snd_soc_dai *dai,
			void *stream, bool pcm, int direction)
{
	struct sdw_cdns *cdns = snd_soc_dai_get_drvdata(dai);
	struct sdw_cdns_dma_data *dma;

	dma = kzalloc(sizeof(*dma), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!dma)
		return -ENOMEM;

	if (pcm)
		dma->stream_type = SDW_STREAM_PCM;
	else
		dma->stream_type = SDW_STREAM_PDM;

	dma->bus = &cdns->bus;
	dma->link_id = cdns->instance;

	dma->stream = stream;

 >>> this is equivalent to snd_soc_dai_dma_data()

	if (direction == SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK)
		dai->playback_dma_data = dma;
	else
		dai->capture_dma_data = dma;
<<<<
	return 0;
