[PATCH] ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: defer probe when the CPU DAI device is not ready

Message-ID <20260805-fsl-asoc-defer-cpu-dai-v1-1-43f7f538e384__18807.7651940816$1785933750$gmane$org@gmail.com>
fsl_asoc_card_probe() hard-fails with -EINVAL when the CPU DAI (SAI)
platform device is not found. Like the codec, the CPU DAI may just be
probed later than the machine driver; the order is not guaranteed and
varies across kernel versions, so a permanent -EINVAL leaves the card
unregistered with no analog playback or capture.

Defer probe instead, mirroring commit e396dec46c56 ("ASoC:
fsl-asoc-card: Defer probe when fail to find codec device").

Tested on i.MX8MP with an ALC5672 on SAI3: the card that failed to
register on v6.18 now comes up during boot.

Fixes: 708b4351f08c ("ASoC: fsl: Add Freescale Generic ASoC Sound Card with ASRC support")
