I suspect your patch now breaks the case where multiple drivers are
built-in, because that puts the same global symbols into vmlinux more
than once.

unconditionally defining dmasound_deinit is the correct solution
here, to solve the case of the core driver being built-in but called
from a loadable module, the Makefile logic is otherwise correct.
