soc_init_dai_link() is just sanity_check now.
In my understanding, it is needed before soc_bind_dai_link().

Current code is like below.
(1) and (2) are for care prelink:ed dai_link.
(A) and (B) are for topology added new dai_link.
and
(1) is for (2)
(A) is for (B)

	int snd_soc_instantiate_card()
	{
		for_each_card_prelinks(...) {
(1)			ret = soc_init_dai_link(...);
			...
		}
		...
		for_each_card_prelinks(...) {
(2)			ret = soc_bind_dai_link(...);
			...
		}
		...
		for_each_card_links(...) {
			...
(A)			ret = soc_init_dai_link(...);
			...
(B)			ret = soc_bind_dai_link(...);
		}
	}

It is very confusing/verbose code for me.
It can be more simple if we can call soc_init_dai_link()
from soc_bind_dai_link().


Thank you for your help !!
