I'm still reviewing the HDAudio flow a bit, so please correct me if I'm wrong. During module initialization, it looks like there will be some overall platform card that will call snd_hdac_ext_bus_init() to create the HDA bus. I referred to the Intel AVS core. How do you ensure that the ALSA entities are loaded before this call goes out? I think once the bus is created dynamic creation/removal of HDA devices is fine, and the hdev_attach/detach is executed.
