My plan was to not convert the ti,*-mcasp-audio txt file to yaml in the
first place, but do it right with as ti,*-mcasp

One of the outstanding issue is the multiple serializer support. It
should be in core as things are just working by luck atm when more than
one serializer is in use (via the card node).

Since we are officially documenting the -mcasp-audio, I don't think it
would be a good idea to introduce different binding for the very same IP
just for the sake of it.

The new (and imho correct) binding would require quite a bit of work in
the driver and in the core level (plus the simple-card family), but I'm
afraid, I will not have time for it.
