If there are any out of tree users they should just use dapm->card instead. 
It's much more simpler than this 'if (dapm->codec) return dapm->codec->card; 
else if (dapm->platform) return dapm->platform->card;' and at the same time 
more robust since it also works for dapm contexts which don't belong to a codec 
or platform.
