We were getting cards probing without the platforms being registered
(which in turn meant we were just skipping their init) and had patches
proposed to implement the deferral in the cards. The deferral stuff is
supposed to making sure that everything is registered when we
instantiate.

I think it's just an oversight - I think the change you were proposing
to check the cpu_dai_name is a good idea anyway as it makes things more
consistent and work more obviously by intention. And more generally if
we can simplify the code by removing legacy options that'd be good but
that's a bigger bit of work...
