And, after avs_hdaudio_driver_exit() is called, why the codec object still remains bound with the HD-audio (Realtek or whatever) codec driver? > Actually..

Admittedly, the plumbing work for ASoC HD-audio was somewhat messy, and it's fine if we can clean things up. snd_hda_codec_cleanup_for_unbind() is certainly written for unbinding the codec driver, and if a part of that function code is needed for different purposes, it should be factored out properly, at least. thanks, Takashi
