I find this super-racy.

If the this function is called just before ...

/*
   * disconnect streams
@@ -910,6 +928,10 @@ static int usb_audio_probe(struct usb_interface *intf,
  	usb_set_intfdata(intf, chip);
  	atomic_dec(&chip->active);
  	mutex_unlock(&register_mutex);
+
+	if (platform_ops->connect_cb)
+		platform_ops->connect_cb(intf, chip);
+

... this, then you have a risk of using a dandling pointer.

You also didn't test that the platform_ops != NULL, so there's a risk of
dereferencing a NULL pointer.

Not so good, eh?

It's a classic (I've had the same sort of issues with SoundWire), when
you export ops from one driver than can be removed, then additional
protection is needed when using those callbacks.



Yep, will take a look at this a bit more to improve it.

Thanks
