Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: Intel: kbl_rt5663_max98927: Fix kabylake_ssp_fixup function

This is a copy of commit 5c5f1baee85a ("ASoC: Intel:
kbl_rt5663_rt5514_max98927: Fix kabylake_ssp_fixup function") applied to
the kbl_rt5663_max98927 board file.

Original explanation of the change:

kabylake_ssp_fixup function uses snd_soc_dpcm to identify the
codecs DAIs. The HW parameters are changed based on the codec DAI of the
stream. The earlier approach to get snd_soc_dpcm was using container_of()
macro on snd_pcm_hw_params.

The structures have been modified over time and snd_soc_dpcm does not have
snd_pcm_hw_params as a reference but as a copy. This causes the current
driver to crash when used.

This patch changes the way snd_soc_dpcm is extracted. snd_soc_pcm_runtime
holds 2 dpcm instances (one for playback and one for capture). 2 codecs
on the SSP are dmic (capture) and speakers (playback). Based on the
stream direction, snd_soc_dpcm is extracted from snd_soc_pcm_runtime.

Fixes a boot crash on a HP Chromebook x2:

Please think hard before including complete backtraces in upstream
reports, they are very large and contain almost no useful information
relative to their size so often obscure the relevant content in your
message. If part of the backtrace is usefully illustrative (it often is
for search engines if nothing else) then it's usually better to pull out
the relevant sections.
