ASoC: simple-card: Add support for codec2codec DAI links
Following the example in cb2cf0de1174 ("ASoC: soc-core: care Codec <-> Codec case by non_legacy_dai_naming"), determine if a DAI link contains only codec DAIs by examining the non_legacy_dai_naming flag in each DAI's component. For now, we assume there is only one or a small set of valid PCM stream parameters, so num_params == 1 is good enough. We also assume that the same params are valid for all supported streams. params is set to the subset of parameters common among all DAIs, and then the existing code automatically chooses the highest quality of the remaining values when the link is brought up.

+A dai_link in a "simple-audio-card" will automatically be detected as
+codec to codec when all DAIs on the link belong to codec components.
+The dai_link will be initialized with the subset of stream parameters
+(channels, format, sample rate) supported by all DAIs on the link. Since
+there is no way to provide these parameters in the device tree, this is
+mostly useful for communication with simple fixed-function codecs, such
