The module argument passed to snd_card_new() must be a valid non-NULL pointer when the module support is enabled. Since ASoC driver passes the argument from each snd_soc_card definition, one may forget to set the owner field and lead to a NULL module easily. For catching such an overlook, add a WARN_ON() in snd_card_new(). Also, put the card->module assignment in the ifdef block for a very minor optimization.
