hdmi-codec oopses the kernel when it is unbound from a successfully bound audio subsystem, and is then rebound: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000001c pgd = ee3f0000 [0000001c] *pgd=3cc59831 Internal error: Oops: 817 [#1] PREEMPT ARM Modules linked in: ext2 snd_soc_spdif_tx vmeta dove_thermal snd_soc_kirkwood ofpart marvell_cesa m25p80 orion_wdt mtd spi_nor des_generic gpio_ir_recv snd_soc_kirkwood_spdif bmm_dmabuf auth_rpcgss nfsd autofs4 etnaviv thermal_sys hwmon gpu_sched tda9950 CPU: 0 PID: 1005 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.20.0+ #1762 Hardware name: Marvell Dove (Cubox) PC is at hdmi_dai_probe+0x68/0x80 LR is at find_held_lock+0x20/0x94 pc : [<c04c7de0>] lr : [<c0063bf4>] psr: 600f0013 sp : ee15bd28 ip : eebd8b1c fp : c093b488 r10: ee048000 r9 : eebdab18 r8 : ee048600 r7 : 00000001 r6 : 00000000 r5 : 00000000 r4 : ee82c100 r3 : 00000006 r2 : 00000001 r1 : c067e38c r0 : ee82c100 Flags: nZCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none[ 297.318599] Control: 10c5387d Table: 2e3f0019 DAC: 00000051 Process bash (pid: 1005, stack limit = 0xee15a248) ...

Move the call to dev_set_drvdata() before devm_snd_soc_register_component() to avoid this oops.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
