4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit d94815f917da770d42c377786dc428f542e38f71 upstream. azx_codec_configure() loops over the codecs found on the given controller via a linked list. The code used to work in the past, but in the current version, this may lead to an endless loop when a codec binding returns an error. The culprit is that the snd_hda_codec_configure() unregisters the device upon error, and this eventually deletes the given codec object from the bus. Since the list is initialized via list_del_init(), the next object points to the same device itself. This behavior change was introduced at splitting the HD-audio code code, and forgotten to adapt it here. For fixing this bug, just use a *_safe() version of list iteration.
