Current simple-card is not assuming multi Codec,
thus, we need to update it correctly, not quick-hack.

I'm not sure how to do it, but it seems we need to update
many functions to support it, not only simple-card driver.
For example, simple-card-utils, soc-core, etc, etc...

I'm not sure, this is just my guess.
I'm happy if we can support it more easily :)

But, if it was difficult to keep compatibility on simple-card,
we/you need to have new one.
Actually, I had a plan to create more flexible sound card
driver, but it is not hi priority for me in these days.

Thank you for your help !!

Best regards
