Looks like the existing fsl-asoc-card.txt? You should convert to schema 
and use that. Otherwise, my comments are based on this all being 'new'.

I continue to not understand why audio bindings need the codec(s) in the 
compatible strings. Can't you look up the codec thru the audio-codec 
property?

We have the common 'sound-dai' property. See the simple-card.yaml 
binding.

Needs a vendor prefix.

But this one seems like something that could or should be common.
