Doesn't this prevent a gradual dailink transition where e.g. the 
platform_name is removed first and then the codec_name/codec_dai_name is 
removed second?

I started doing the transition in steps changing all dailinks with 
platform and codec/codec_dai names at once is quite invasive and 
possibly error prone. Specifically for Intel machine drivers, the codec 
names are heavily tweaked to align with the actual ACPI name, not the 
hard-coded one, and that should be tested independently if possible. 
Same for codec_dai_names, they depend on quirks.
