did you find the time to look into this?

The downstream Raspberry Pi kernel contains a bunch of machine drivers
that are implemented in a similar way as the tegra_sgtl5000 driver
(static card and dai link structs, dai_link->platform_of_node filled
in from device tree) which are breaking in 4.20 on deferred probing.

Switching these drivers to dynamically allocated dai link structs,
like 76836fd35492 "ASoC: omap-abe-twl6040: Fix missing audio card
caused by deferred probing" would be a possibility, but if there's
some solution on the horizon that doesn't require changes to the
driver code it'd be easier to wait for that.

so long,
