From: Ranjani Sridharan <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit d6947bb234dcc86e878d502516d0fb9d635aa2ae ]
HDA_DEV_ASOC type codec device refcounts are managed differently from HDA_DEV_LEGACY devices. The refcount is released explicitly in snd_hdac_ext_bus_device_remove() for ASOC type devices. So, remove the put_device() call in snd_hda_codec_dev_free() for such devices to make the refcount balanced. This will prevent the NULL pointer exception when the codec driver is released after the card is freed.
