I took the code and split it in two for BYT/CHT (modified to remove 
devm_) and SoundWire parts (added as is).

https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/2810

Both cases result in a refcount error on device_remove_sof when removing 
the platform device. I don't understand the code well enough to figure 
out what happens, but it's likely a case of the software node being 
removed twice?
