I can rename argument "data" to "name", but I can not change the 
prototype of the compare callback expected by component framework.

We need two because one is iterator and other is find.

if we use just one we will endup with valid iterator item which may not 
have matched dev.

Or I can re-organize/simplify the code like this:

static int snd_soc_card_comp_compare(struct device *dev, void *name)
{
         struct snd_soc_component *t;

         lockdep_assert_held(&client_mutex);
         list_for_each_entry(t, &component_list, list) {
                 if (dev == t->dev) {
                         if (!strcmp(t->name, name))
                                 return 1;
                 }
         }

         return 0;
}

AFAIU, strcmp should be safe here as component->name is 
generated/sanitized by core and would be of max len of NAME_SIZE.
core uses strcmp in may places. Any particular reason you want me to 
move to strncmp?
