I don't think krealloc() is appropriate since we don't know where the memory
comes from. The typical use I see is that the card struct is initialized as:

static const struct snd_soc_dapm_route foo_intercon[] = {
	{ "MUX1", "Loop", "IN1" },
	{ "MUX1", "Mixer", "MIX1" },

	{ "MIX1", NULL, "DAC" },
	{ "MIX1", "IN1 Switch", "IN1" },

	{ "Line Out Jack", NULL, "MUX1" },
};

static struct snd_soc_card foo_card = {
	.name = "foo",
	.owner = THIS_MODULE,
	.dapm_routes = foo_intercon,
	.num_dapm_routes = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_intercon),
	/* etc */
};

If that's the case, krealloc() seems dead wrong. On the other hand, if
snd_soc_of_parse_audio_routing() were to be called many times, a lot
of devm_kzalloc()ed memory would be kept dangling. I don't expect a card
to call snd_soc_of_parse_audio_routing() more than once though...

Cheers,
Peter
