feat(linux): Add comprehensive AM62DX audio documentation

Add complete audio documentation for AM62DX including:
- TAD52512 DAC and PCM6240 ADC codec support
- McASP2 interface configuration with specific pin assignments
- Multi-channel playback and recording capabilities
- Kernel configuration paths for both codecs
- Profile selection for PCM6240 I2C address switching
- Example commands for playback, recording, and full-duplex operation
- Hardware connector mapping (J1/J2 for recording, J3/J4 for playback)

Remove outdated limitation note about static DAC configuration.

+   Audio playback is handled by four TAD5212 codec devices. These devices provide
+   multi-channel audio output capabilities through the davinci-mcasp interface.
+   Audio recording is managed by two PCM6240 ADC devices. Each PCM6240 ADC
+   supports four channel audio input with configurable profiles for different
+   I2C addresses.
+
+   **Playback Subsystem**
