Please remember to CC maintainers on patches, this helps avoid patches
getting lost in mailing lists - the procedure in SubmittingPatches
should generally be followed.

Like Liam says this seems wrong - why would we have allocated this early
on in the probe() only to free it later?

Note also that this code needs to work with both ASoC-native AC97
drivers and the ac97.c bodge.
