Below are the drivers calling pcm_new() other than hdmi codec driver.
sound/soc/meson/axg-frddr.c
sound/soc/meson/axg-toddr.c
These two drivers are frontend DAI drivers and should not be impacted
because of this.

Other than this, pcm_new() is called from sound/soc/stm/stm32_sai_sub.c
I could not get much info about this driver. However, it is just adding
kcontrols in pcm_new() which uses internal private structs in get()/put().
Olivier Moysan can too confirm on this.

Thanks,
Rohit
