This means we can't use the prefix to disambiguate any more -
snd_soc_dapm_widget_name_cmp() will strip the prefix off.  We want the
prefix in contexts where the name is specified by the user since the
prefix is there to provide for disambiguation.  The prefix addition
logic is a bit weird and I'm not sure it makes sense, but the search
based on the fully specified name we got is something we want.
