My understanding is that 1 "port" is for 1 "physical interface".
In sound case, it is 1 "DAI".
And, 1 "endpoint" is for 1 "connection".

	"If a single port is connected to more than one remote device, an
	'endpoint' child node must be provided for each link."

This meanns, "If 1 DAI (*1) is connected to multiple remote DAIs(*2),
this connection is indicated by multiple "endpoint"" or something like that.

(*2)
DAIA-endpoint---endpoint--\
DAIB-endpoint---endpoint-----DAI (*1)
DAIC-endpoint---endpoint--/

I re-checked https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/28/405.
Are MDM6600 / OMAP4 CPU portion, and are CPCAP / WL1285 Codec portion ?
Then, it is not yet supported (on ALSA SoC level?).
If my memory was correct, Lars-Peter had some idea for Mux,
But, not yet implemented I think.

audio-graph[-scu] / simple-card[-scu] are supporting DPCM,
but it is for multiple CPU - single Codec.

Best regards
