There are 2 platform devices (3830000.i2s, 3830000.i2s-sec), for each
a platform/DMA component is created. For 3830000.i2s there is also
a component with 2 CPU DAIs registered. 

If we derive the platform/DMA component name from the component's driver
name then we end up with non unique Platform component names 
(snd_dmaengine_pcm) and subsequently we fail to assign Platform component 
to DAI links.

Here is list of components before the patch:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/components 
3830000.i2s
3830000.i2s-sec
3830000.i2s
hdmi-audio-codec.3.auto
max98090.5-0010
snd-soc-dummy
snd-soc-dummy

And after the patch:

root at target:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/components 
samsung-i2s
snd_dmaengine_pcm
snd_dmaengine_pcm
hdmi-audio-codec.3.auto
max98090.5-0010
snd-soc-dummy
snd-soc-dummy
