Please make the entire comment block a C++ one so things look more
intentional.

What's this all about?

I'm not clear on this dynamically adding and removing device links stuff
- it looks like the main (only?) purpose is to take a runtime PM
reference to the target device which is fine but it's not clear why
device links are involved given that the links are created and destroyed
every time the DAI is used, AFAICT always in the same fixed
relationship.  It's not a problem, it's just unclear.
