bugs in "ASoC: core - Optimise and refactor pcm_new() to pass onlyrtd"?

Hi,

I've bisected a problem with an out of tree set of asoc drivers down to commit
552d1ef6b5a98d7b95959d5b139071e3c90cebf1 ("ASoC: core - Optimise and refactor
pcm_new() to pass only rtd"). By the looks of it this change was intended not
to change the workings of the code, however the dai parameter of pcm_new used
to be passed codec_dai in soc_new_pcm() (initialised from rtd->codec_dai), but
each driver now sets it's dai to rtd->cpu_dai instead. This seems to make the
driver check the wrong dai's driver->capture.channels_min in the pcm_new
callback, which makes it dereference
pcm->streams[SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE].substream in the driver's
preallocate_dma_buffer() function which can be NULL. Is this a bug (in every
pcm asoc driver) that just happens not to have been noticed, or have I
misunderstood it?

Relevant snippets of the original patch below.

Thanks
James
