Thanks for the overnight fix. This update fixes the issue on my Skylake XPS13 test device (blind testing since I don't understand what the code does).

I need to take this back, this set of changes (initial+fix) causes an error with our HDMI support

Removing your changes restores the functionality

Looks like we should revert generic implementation for defering probe and move to call from machine driver as done in v1.

@Mark, Do you have suggestion to refine current patch?
Adding some traces I can see that the the platform name we use doesn't seem compatible with your logic. All the Intel boards used a constant platform name matching the PCI ID, see e.g. [1], which IIRC is used to bind components. Liam, do you recall in more details if this is really required?

I think if it does not set platform name as 0000:00:0e.0, it should take snd-soc-dummy as platform name
and that might fix the issue.
snd-soc-dummy does have component associated with it.
