The initialization os usx2y driver is multi-staged, and the PCM and other device creations are done after the DSP is loaded and initialized. Upon the initialization, when an error happens, the driver tries to call snd_card_free(). But this is dangerous, and in general, the driver cannot kill itself during its operation. Hence better to drop the snd_card_free() call from there.
