The snprintf calls filling byt_rt5651_cpu_dai_name / byt_rt5651_cpu_dai_name always fill them with the same string (ssp0-port" resp "rt5651-aif2"). So instead of keeping these buffers around and making the cpu_dai_name / codec_dai_name point to this, simply update the foo_dai_name pointers to directly point to a string constant containing the desired string.

If you submit a patch, please give your own sign-off as well as the
author's one, even if the patch is not written by you. This is a
legal requirement.

Sorry, that is my bad, Nariman and the author authors of the patches
are a group of students doing some kernel work for me and this is
a warm-up assignment for them to get used to the kernel development
process.

I forgot to point out to Nariman that since he is sending
out the entire series for all 4 of them, he needs to add his
S-o-b.

One suggestion for additional cleanups: can we try and remove all these static variables and move them to the context structure? It's been on my TODO list for a while.
