simple-card is used in many boards, but is old.
Adding new feature on audio-graph-card/audio-graph-card2 instead of simple-card
is my ideal, but it is OK.

simple-card is possible to handle multiple DAI links by using
"dai-link" node on 1 Sound Card. see

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/simple-card.yaml?h=v6.4-rc3#n294

Is this "additional-devs" available only one per 1 Card ?
If it is possible to use 1 additional-devs per 1 DAI link, I think this patch want to
care "dai-link".
Or adding temporally NOTE or FIXME message like /* NOTE: it doesn't support dai-link so far */
is good idea.

Calling simple_populate_aux() before calling simple_parse_of() is possible,
but looks strange for me.

I think better position to call simple_populate_aux() is here.
But __simple_for_each_link() will be called multiple times for CPU and for Codec.
So maybe you want to calling it under CPU turn.

	 /* NOTE: it doesn't support dai-link so far */
	add_devs = of_get_child_by_name(top, PREFIX "additional-devs");
	if (add_devs && li->cpu) {
		ret = simple_populate_aux(priv);
		...
	}

Thank you for your help !!

Best regards
