The recent change in hda-intel driver to allow repeated probes surfaced a problem that has been hidden until; the probe process in the work calls azx_free() at the error path, and this skips the card free process that eventually releases codec instances. As a result, we get a kernel WARNING like: snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Cannot probe codecs, giving up ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 186 at sound/hda/hdac_bus.c:73 .... For fixing this, we need to call snd_card_free() instead of azx_free(). Additionally, the device drvdata has to be cleared, as the driver binding itself is still active. Then the PM and other driver callbacks will ignore the procedure.
