I did a test reordering the nodes on the WP2 box like this:

        dai-link-0 {
                sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_HDMI CTRL_OUT>;

                codec-0 {
                        sound-dai = <&hdmi_tx>;
                };
        };

        dai-link-1 {
                sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_CPU CPU_I2S_FIFO>;
        };

        dai-link-2 {
                sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_CPU CPU_SPDIF_FIFO>;
        };

        dai-link-3 {
                sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_CPU CPU_I2S_ENCODER>;
                dai-format = "i2s";
                mclk-fs = <256>;

                codec-0 {
                        sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_HDMI CTRL_I2S>;
                };
        };

        dai-link-4 {
                sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_CPU CPU_SPDIF_ENCODER>;

                codec-0 {
                        sound-dai = <&spdif_dit>;
                };
        };

This gives output like:

WP2:~ # amixer controls
numid=5,iface=MIXER,name='AIU HDMI CTRL SRC'
numid=6,iface=MIXER,name='AIU SPDIF SRC SEL'
numid=4,iface=PCM,name='ELD'
numid=3,iface=PCM,name='IEC958 Playback Default'
numid=2,iface=PCM,name='IEC958 Playback Mask'
numid=1,iface=PCM,name='Playback Channel Map’

The “device=4” is gone, but also gone is the default PCM device:

WP2:~ # aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
iec958:CARD=WETEKPLAY2,DEV=0
    WETEK-PLAY2, 
    IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output

Assuming I did the changes above correctly? it looks like DAI order
matters and cannot be changed.

That’s some way beyond my limited kernel skills, so I will need to
phone friends and ask the audience for assistance :)
