ALSA SoC try to rebind Sound Card if Card/CPU/Codec/Platform
were unbinded and re-binded again.
But, Audio Graph Card might can't rebind again if user do for example

unbind CPU or Codec driver
bind   CPU or Codec driver

Because Audio Graph Card is still pointing old/unbinded
CPU or Codec driver's DAI name at dlc->dai_name.

To avoid this issue, it needs to alloc memory and keep DAI name
even though if CPU or Codec driver was unbinded.
Or, always do unbind/bind at Sound Card.

For now, this patch indicates this issue as FIXME.
