I don't know how complex it is to have a unified solution. But if we can 
protect snd_soc_find_dai() itself, things would be simpler may be in 
long term. Right now there are separate source files for soc-core, 
soc-dai and soc-component, but because of two approaches looks like the 
function need to be moved around and need to be placed in soc-core. Also 
the issue might go unnoticed if LOCKDEP is not enabled.

May be start with a wrapper for now and eventually unify?

Thanks,
Sameer.
