The driver field in the struct snd_ctl_card_info is a valid

This breaks at least an arm multi_v7_defconfig build:

/build/stage/linux/sound/soc/soc-core.c: In function ‘snd_soc_bind_card’:
/build/stage/linux/sound/soc/soc-core.c:2055:36: error: ‘struct snd_soc_card’ ha

       |                                    ^~


Also, it does not make sense to set the driver field to the
card name composed from DMI. This card name is longer in most
(all?) cases. Use a generic "ASoC-DMI" string here.

This should be a separate change, and DMI is a term specific to the
ACPI/EFI so I don't think we should be using it as a generic here, this
seems like a step back.  If we want to make a change there I'd expect it
to be more picking the actual card driver name.

Thanks for the review. Yes, I made a mistake here. I wrongly mixed name and long name strings in my head. I removed the DMI check and posted v2 of the patch.
