Hi Takashi, Mark, Lars

I worked for bind/unbind issue which was discussed before

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/134062/focus=134076
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/134283/focus=134287

I would like to know your opinion before sending patch to Greg

The problem is ASoC has card/platform/cpu/codec relationship for each other,
but, we can unbind one of them, and then, other related devices doesn't know
about it. Thus, kernel will error if we use sound after that.

Here is example of this issue.
It unbind cpu (= rcar_sound), playback sound, and, error.
And, we can't re-bind after this.

	// check current sound card

	> aplay -l
	**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
	card 0: rsnddai0ak4642h [rsnd-dai.0-ak4642-hifi], device 0: rsnd-dai.0-ak4642-hifi ak4642-hifi-0 []
	  Subdevices: 1/1
	  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

	// unbind cpu (= rcar_sound)

	> echo ec500000.rcar_sound > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/rcar_sound/unbind

	// recheck sound card
	// card doesn't know cpu was removed

	> aplay -l
	**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
	card 0: rsnddai0ak4642h [rsnd-dai.0-ak4642-hifi], device 0: rsnd-dai.0-ak4642-hifi ak4642-hifi-0 []
	  Subdevices: 1/1
	  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

	// kernel error happen if playback

	> aplay xxx.wav
	Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000100
	pgd = ee97c000
	...

	// we can't re-bind cpu

	> echo ec500000.rcar_sound > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/rcar_sound/bind
	  -- freeze --

I hacked this issue to using deferred list, and created attached patch.
it is all-in-one patch. but it solved my issue.
I would like to know your opinion about this.

	// check current sound card

	> aplay -l

	  Subdevices: 1/1
	  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

	// unbind cpu (= rcar_sound)

	> echo ec500000.rcar_sound > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/rcar_sound/unbind 
	 (local debug message) release ec500000.rcar_sound
	 (local debug message) release related device - sound
	 (local debug message) related related device - 6-0012

	// recheck sound card
	// it knows there is no available card

	> aplay -l
	aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

	// re-bind lost cpu (= rcar_sound)
	// it re-bind sound card

	> echo ec500000.rcar_sound > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/rcar_sound/bind 
	rcar_sound ec500000.rcar_sound: probed
	asoc-simple-card sound: ak4642-hifi <-> ec500000.rcar_sound mapping ok

	// let's unbind codec side (= ak4642) this time

	> echo 6-0012 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/ak4642-codec/unbind
	(local debug message) release 6-0012
	(local debug message) release related device - ec500000.rcar_sound
	(local debug message) related related device - sound

	> aplay -l

	// re-bind lost codec (= ak4642)
	// it re-bind sound card
