The bug was introduced by the patch as it used (tried to free) the codec pointer
before it was assigned any value. It happened only if the card was missing and
I didn't test the driver on such a configuration. My mistake. The CONFIG_PNP
setting makes no difference.

This may (or may not) change your view on splitting the driver.
