We already have properties doing the same thing defined in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/simple-card.txt. Use and
extend that. We don't need new properties especially for something
that is not complete. For example If I have 2 host ports (every SoC
has at least 2), how do I indicate which one is connected to BT.
