The #sound-dai-cells DT property is required to describe link between the HDMI IP block and the SoC's audio subsystem.

Just trivial question. 'sound-dai-cells' property could affect hdmi driver? I looked into HDMI codec driver but I didn't find relevat code. I mean that if this property never affect HDMI driver then this property would be a dead thing even through this can be declared optionally.
Thanks, Inki Dae
Example:
hdmi {

This property is used by ASoC framework when it is building connections between all elements of the virtual 'sound card'. It allows generic code to find proper driver for the digital audio interface (DAI) object.

I also assumed that some place of ASoC framework checks this property. For this I looked into HDMI codec driver(sound/soc/codecs/hdmi-codec.c) and relevant interfaces of ASoC framework. But I couldn't find it. :( Could you let me know which code of ASoC framework checks this? I saw this property only in 'snd_soc_of_get_dai_name' and 'snd_soc_of_get_dai_link_codecs' functions but seems these functions aren't called by the HDMI codec driver.

It is used by snd_soc_of_get_dai_link_codecs() function, which is called from respective board/machine driver. See sound/soc/samsung/odroid.c for good example. It allows to automatically create connection to max98090 and hdmi codec devices, which are specified in 'sound/codec' node (see exynos5422-odroidxu3-audio.dtsi).

Ah, sorry, I missed to check that driver and checked only DRM drivers. :) By the way, it seems 'sound-dai-cells' property never affect Exynos4210/4212/5420/5433. It seems that even through ALSA TM2 audio driver(tm2_wm5110.c) exists the driver never check the property. However, this patch adds below description. "Optional properties for Exynos 4210, 4212, 5420 and 5433"
Is there a possibility for other boards based on Exynos4210/4212/5420/5433 SoC to use this property later?
Thanks, Inki Dae

All these SoCs have the HDMI IP block which has one input DAI, connected internally over I2S bus with the IS2 controller.
I think there is no advantage in limiting ourselves now only to SoC's for which we currently rely on that DT property in current kernel code, just to update this documentation later when we actually put the property in dts files.
In case of exynos5420 we already require #sound-dai-cells for Odroid and I have also a patch for exynos5420-peach-pit board which will need it as well.
As far as exynos4210 and exynos4212 are concerned it's a matter of adding support for Odroid-U3, then we will also need this property because we are going to use "multi-codec" (HDMI and external I2S0 pins for CODEC are wired in parallel).
In case of exynos5433 it just happens that the code in current driver doesn't require #sound-dai-cells property - one of the reasons I made it this way was to avoid dependency on dts, but it doesn't imply we should describe the HW in DT incompletely. Once the property is in dtbs we can update the driver to use more generic code, instead of open coding things.
Actually I have forgotten to add also exynos5250 to the list.

Maybe exynos5422? Odroid XU3/4 use Exynos5422.
Good idea.

Seems that '#sound-dai-cells' is required mandatorily in case of Exynos5422 because Odroid XU3/4 Audio driver checks this property, and the driver returns error if the property doesn't exist in its device tree. And if other SoCs - Exynos4210/4212/5250/5420/5433 - require this property with additional driver works later then this property would also be required mandatorily for them not optionally. In this case we may need to modify the description again.
So my opinion is to add only the description required mandatorily if I understood correctly.

Yes, my mistake, Exynos5422 for Odroid and Exynos5420 for Peach-Pit. It just happens we use "samsung,exynos5420-hdmi" compatible for that both SoCs.
You are right, it would be better to make this a mandatory property, I only made it optional because now this property is missing in many dts files. Let me resend with #sound-dai-cells description moved to the "Required properties" paragraph.
