For some reason, we check if the DAI is registered before checking the endpoint is present. It will cause problem if the codec driver doesn't register the DAI of the unexist endpoint.

@charleskeepax Can you remind me why we added the DAI registered check? I vaguely remember below code could return error in a few corner cases. But I can't remember which cases are they.

        sdw_dev = bus_find_device_by_name(&sdw_bus_type, NULL, sdw_codec_name);
        if (!sdw_dev) {
                dev_err(dev, "codec %s not found\n", sdw_codec_name);
                return -EINVAL;
        }

        slave = dev_to_sdw_dev(sdw_dev);
        if (!slave) {
                ret = -EINVAL;
                goto put_device;
        }

I tested on my ARL + cs42l43 device and blocked list the snd_soc_cs42l43 module and load it later and it seems work fine.

const struct snd_soc_acpi_adr_device *adr_dev = &adr_link->adr_d[adr_index];
const struct snd_soc_acpi_endpoint *adr_end;
const struct asoc_sdw_dai_info *dai_info;
struct snd_soc_dai_link_component *dlc;

@bardliao Can we drop the first sentence in the commit message and say that checking for a registered DAI for non-existing endpoints causes the following error and state the error here?

Checking for a registered DAI for non-existing endpoints causes the
following error. The driver will always return -EPROBE_DEFER if the
codec driver doesn't register the DAI of the unexist endpoint.
