It is hard.

In cpu dai driver we always register two components, one is for
cpu dai, another is for platform, so for sound card platform and
cpu share the same node.

        /* Find PLATFORM from registered PLATFORMs */
        for_each_link_platforms(dai_link, i, platform) {
                for_each_component(component) {
                        if (!snd_soc_is_matching_component(platform, component))
                                continue;

                        snd_soc_rtd_add_component(rtd, component);
                }
        }

Above code in snd_soc_add_pcm_runtime() checks components
for the platform,  because there are two components for the node,
the first one is the component of cpu dai, which is added by
registering dai, it is already added in the beginning,  so it is
duplicated,  but the second one (which is for platform) is not ready,
then issue happens.

It is hard to add conditions here for defer probe.  And maybe
some drivers need the same components for cpu and platform.
Do you have any suggestions?

(The easy way is to fix in each drivers:))
