If the codec device is registered, after calling snd_hdac_device_unregister(), codec has already been removed from chip bus, it should call put_device() to give up reference to free codec and device name.

Hrm, are you sure that this will result in a memory leak? put_device() is called at snd_hda_codec_unregister() that is invoked via dev_free callback of the snd_hda_codec object -- which is called when the top-level driver is removed. I'm afraid that your patch will lead to a double-free.
thanks,
Takashi
