OK, that would fit for a new function, indeed.
Will modify in v2.

It's a destructor and can't be called in parallel.

snd_card_register() can be called multiple times for re-registering
the newly added components (e.g. usb-audio driver does it).  In that
case, we have to move this trigger_card_free action at the head again.
