Marcel, it maybe worth looking at what happens in the 2nd call to
snd_soc_init_platform() following the probe deferral. Also pay attention
to the value of 'dai_link->platform_name' in snd_soc_init_platform() on
both 1st and 2nd call. Seems that on the 2nd time the function is called
the value is not NULL???

Cheers
Jon
