From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 66482f640755b31cb94371ff6cef17400cda6db5 upstream. The device_links_purge() function (called from device_del()) tries to remove the links.needs_suppliers list entry, but it's using list_del(), hence it doesn't initialize after the removal. This is OK for normal cases where device_del() is called via device_destroy(). However, it's not guaranteed that the device object will be really deleted soon after device_del(). In a minor case like HD-audio codec reconfiguration that re-initializes the device after device_del(), it may lead to a crash by the corrupted list entry. As a simple fix, replace list_del() with list_del_init() in order to make the list intact after the device_del() call.
