This makes sense to me and also seems to match the devres logic for
component binding (component_bind()), where the only resources freed at
unbind (or at bind failure) are those that were allocated in the
components' bind hook. Any resource allocated later by the components
are not affected by the unbinding:
Acked-by: Imre Deak <imre.deak@xxxxxxxxx>
If for some reason the current behaviour was intentional, one
alternative I can think of would be for audio to register itself with the
component framework using a dedicated kdev object.
Imo the component framework's devres semantics would need to be
documented as well.
