Correct me if I'm wrong, but do we really need to _get_dma_ here?
_set_dma_ seems bulletproof, same for kfree.

I must admit I have no idea why we have a reference to DMAs here, this looks
like an abuse to store a dai-specific context, and the initial test looks
like copy-paste to detect invalid configs, as done in other callbacks. Vinod
and Sanyog might have more history than me here.

I dont see snd_soc_dai_set_dma_data() call for
sdw_cdns_dma_data so somthing is missing (at least in upstream code)

IIRC we should have a snd_soc_dai_set_dma_data() in alloc or some
initialization routine and we free it here.. Sanyog?

the code does a bunch of get_dma_data() and this seems to work, but indeed I don't see where the _set_dma_data() is done. magic.
