Ah, right, we could just retrieve the snd_soc_card in the unbind, and
the retrieve our structure that way. That's pretty simple :)

Stefan, I guess this is the easiest solution, we should just make sure
that there's a comment to explain why we retrieve snd_soc_card in the
unbind, since it's somewhat unusual.

Thanks!
