[PATCH v2 4/4] ASoC: meson: aiu: use aiu-formatter-i2s to format I2S output data

[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Mutation of a global static template array with instance-specific data breaks the device driver model and enables data races.
- [Medium] Missing cleanup of global template array on error path, causing a dangling pointer.

ASoC: meson: aiu: use aiu-formatter-i2s to format I2S output data

Create a new DAPM widget for the "I2S formatter" and place it on the path
between the FIFO and output DAI interface. This also removes the I2S output
formatting code from aiu-encoder-i2s since it's now handled by the new
aiu-formatter-i2s widget.

[Severity: High]
Does removing the const qualifier here and modifying the global template array
during aiu_probe() break the device driver model?

If multiple instances of this device are probed, won't they overwrite each
other's instance pointers in this shared array, potentially causing data races
or a use-after-free?

[Severity: Medium]
If snd_soc_register_component() fails, should this path use "goto err" instead
of returning directly?

Looking at the rest of aiu_probe():

	ret = snd_soc_register_component(dev, &aiu_cpu_component,
					 aiu_cpu_dai_drv,
					 ARRAY_SIZE(aiu_cpu_dai_drv));
	if (ret) {
		dev_err(dev, "Failed to register cpu component\n");
		return ret;
	}

Since gx_formatter_create() allocates memory and assigns it to the global
array, returning directly skips the gx_formatter_free() call at the err label.
The devres framework will free the memory, but wouldn't this leave a dangling
pointer in the global aiu_cpu_dapm_widgets array?
