we are already calling directly sdw_startup_stream() and 
sdw_shutdown_stream() from the machine driver.

We could call sdw_stream_enable() in the dailink .trigger as well, since 
it only calls the stream API.

However for both .prepare() and .hw_free() there are a set of dai-level 
configurations using static functions defined only in intel.c, and I 
don't think we can move the code to the machine driver, or split the 
prepare/hw_free in two (dailink and dai operations).

I am not against your idea, I am not sure if it can be done.

Would you be ok to merge this as a first step and let us work on an 
optimization later (which would require ASoC/SoundWire synchronization)?
