Platform may be specified by either name or OF node but not both.

For OF node platforms (e.g i.MX) we end up with both platform name and of_node set and sound card registration will fail with the error:

asoc-simple-card sof-sound-wm8960: ASoC: Neither/both platform name/of_node are set for sai1-wm8960-hifi

This doesn't actually say what the change does.

• 	dai_link->platforms->name = component->name;
  

• 	if (!dai_link->platforms->of_node)
  

• 		dai_link->platforms->name = component->name;
  

Why would we prefer the node name over something explicitly configured?
