clkdev_drop(cl) does not null the removed cl, if da7219_register_dai_clks() entered again after card removal, devm_clk_register() will return -EEXIST, the goto err to clkdev_drop() will trigger board reboot. Test commands: modprobe -r snd_sof_pci modprobe snd_sof_pci The oops looks like: da7219 i2c-DLGS7219:00: Using default DAI clk names: da7219-dai-wclk, da7219-dai-bclk da7219 i2c-DLGS7219:00: Failed to register da7219-dai-wclk: -17 general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:clkdev_drop+0x20/0x52 Call Trace: da7219_probe+0x52e/0x6dc [snd_soc_da7219] soc_probe_component+0x206/0x3a1 snd_soc_bind_card+0x4ee/0x9a6 devm_snd_soc_register_card+0x48/0x7b audio_probe+0x1f0/0x221 [snd_soc_sof_da7219_max98373] platform_drv_probe+0x89/0xa2 really_probe+0x129/0x30d driver_probe_device+0x59/0xec ? driver_sysfs_remove+0x55/0x55 bus_for_each_drv+0xa1/0xdc __device_attach+0xc2/0x146 bus_probe_device+0x32/0x97 device_add+0x311/0x3b4 platform_device_add+0x184/0x1eb Fix by marking (nullifying) the da7219->dai_clks_lookup[i] after clkdev_drop().
