+ * Here, dlc->dai_name is pointer to CPU/Codec DAI name.
+ * If user unbinded CPU or Codec driver, but not for Sound Card,
+ * dlc->dai_name is keeping unbinded CPU or Codec
+ * driver's pointer.
+ *
+ * If user re-bind CPU or Codec driver again, ALSA SoC will try
+ * to rebind Card via snd_soc_try_rebind_card(), but because of
+ * above reason, it might can't bind Sound Card.
+ * Because Sound Card is pointing to released dai_name pointer.
+ *
+ * To avoid this rebind Card issue,
+ * 1) It needs to alloc memory to keep dai_name eventhough
+ * CPU or Codec driver was unbinded, or
+ * 2) user need to rebind Sound Card everytime
+ * if he unbinded CPU or Codec.
