I will be removing this in v2 as it is not required.

I wanted to reuse the sound card DT node in the upstream kernel
device-tree. The U-boot upstrem repo does not have the node as it is
using an older version of DT.
But if using the simple-audio-card node is not preferred, then can we
create TI specific compatible and a separate DT node?
