There are no longer any playback/capture PCMs registered on
qcom/apq8016_sbc with this patch. :(

With this patch:
  $ ls /dev/snd
  controlC0  timer

Without this patch:
  $ ls /dev/snd
  controlC0  pcmC0D0p   pcmC0D1c   timer

(There is exactly one playback-only and capture-only PCM normally...)

The routing looks like this:
  qcom-apq8016-sbc 7702000.sound: ASoC: registered pcm #0 WCD multicodec-0
  qcom-apq8016-sbc 7702000.sound: multicodec <-> Primary MI2S mapping ok
  qcom-apq8016-sbc 7702000.sound: ASoC: registered pcm #1 WCD-Capture multicodec-1
  qcom-apq8016-sbc 7702000.sound: multicodec <-> Tertiary MI2S mapping ok
  WCD: connected DAI link 7708000.lpass:Primary Playback -> 771c000.codec:AIF1 Playback
  WCD: connected DAI link 7708000.lpass:Primary Playback -> 200f000.spmi:pm8916@1:codec@f00:PDM Playback
  WCD-Capture: connected DAI link 771c000.codec:AIF1 Capture -> 7708000.lpass:Tertiary Capture
  WCD-Capture: connected DAI link 200f000.spmi:pm8916@1:codec@f00:PDM Capture -> 7708000.lpass:Tertiary Capture

For the playback stream, codec_dai and cpu_dai (lpass) only support SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK.
The same applies to the capture stream.

I'm a bit confused about this patch, isn't SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK
used for both cpu_dai and codec_dai in the playback case?

Thanks,
Stephan
