It'd be good to have a link to an example set of DT properties for SDCA.
The way the functions were organized in ACPI is based on a DT-inspired
_DSD mechanism to have nested blocks.

edit: After reaching the last patch I realized there are no such
properties. The main problem is how to deal with board-specific
initialization data, the suggestion to encode all the tables in C seems
limited to me.
Add a populate_function hw_op that the class function driver falls
back to when @function->desc->node is NULL: it fills the caller-owned
sdca_function_data (entities, clusters, init_table, delays) from the
codec's static tables, matching by function type.  Leave
@function->desc alone -- the framework owns the per-instance
descriptor, so devices with more than one function of the same type
keep their per-instance SoundWire address.
I wasn't able to understand that last sentence - and I don't remember
seeing a case with different functions of the same type. It's permitted
by the spec but it'd be fun to manage...

Erm, this populate_function() callback would not generate any hardware
access, would it? It's really different to hw_init which is supposed to
configure the codec and must run after enumeration.

I am struggling a bit with the 'hw_ops', it's really only a matter of
reading tables from platform firmware, and this could be done without
any dependency on hardware, couldn't it?
