Looks like we should revert generic implementation for defering probe 
and move to call from machine driver as done in v1.

@Mark, Do you have suggestion to refine current patch?

I think if it does not set platform name as 0000:00:0e.0, it should take 
snd-soc-dummy as platform name
and that might fix the issue.
snd-soc-dummy does have component associated with it.
