If the original cinfo is not used anymore, the use of its structure to
handle the card information is not a good idea:

- almost all cinfo information are in the struct snd_soc_card,

- this cinfo structure cannot be extended to handle many DAI links,

- it contains simple-card information which are of no use for the
  platform caller.

So, I'd rather have seen:

- the removal of 'snd_link' and 'snd_card' from the platform interface
  (struct asoc_simple_card_info),

- the definition of a local struct simple_card_data containing the
  struct snd_soc_card and a pointer to an array of fmt/sysclk values
  (one per DAI link).
