For 1, what kind of codes will have in the codec driver if adding a
link to UART in codec dts node? UART is very generic to transfer path.
it even doesn't know bluetooth is running on top of it.

For 2, if the case is that we add codec subnode in UART node,  the
UART driver will need to walk child nodes and extend platform device
for them, it seems it is not uart driver likes.
