Humm, it was my understanding that the substream is mapped 1:1 with a
dailink, so not sure how SoundWire and non-SoundWire DAIs could be part
of the same dailink?

I am not saying this test is silly, just wondering if there is any case
where this error code is returned. Worst-case it's always false but
harmless.

Fair enough, I've been in your shoes :-)
Not always easy to grade 3+ yr code as 'miss', 'bug', 'optimization' or
'feature'...
