Additionally When I debugged inside simple_for_each_link() function, I got an error in the snd_soc_of_get_dai_name() function. In the driver code, there's a FIXME comment above this function, which I’ve included below.
/*
* FIXME
*
* Here, dlc->dai_name is pointer to CPU/Codec DAI name.
* If user unbinded CPU or Codec driver, but not for Sound Card,
* dlc->dai_name is keeping unbinded CPU or Codec
* driver's pointer.
*
* If user re-bind CPU or Codec driver again, ALSA SoC will try
* to rebind Card via snd_soc_try_rebind_card(), but because of
* above reason, it might can't bind Sound Card.
* Because Sound Card is pointing to released dai_name pointer.
*
* To avoid this rebind Card issue,
* 1) It needs to alloc memory to keep dai_name eventhough
* CPU or Codec driver was unbinded, or
* 2) user need to rebind Sound Card everytime
* if he unbinded CPU or Codec.

ret = snd_soc_of_get_dai_name(node, &dlc->dai_name);
