We see one more problem with this patch.
We are going to add support for I2S endpoint on another
platform based on Renoir.

Platform device creation logic going to be expanded in ACP PCI
driver probe call.
Because ACP Is Parent device , Ideally platform devices creation logic
should be handled in ACP PCI driver.

Based on Audio configuration, During ACP PCI driver probe call, 
platform devices will be created.

In case of I2S endpoint support,  machine driver gets probed via acpi dev id match.
If we go ahead with this patch, We have to expand the work around logic
by adding extra check in PDM DMA driver  which doesn't seems to be good.

Currently I observed only two times sound card registration failure in dmesg 
during boot time.
For the sake of avoiding  few card registration failure logs observed in dmesg, 
I don't think at this stage, we really need to go ahead with this patch.
