The module argument passed to snd_card_new() must be a valid non-NULL pointer when the module support is enabled. Since ASoC driver passes the argument from each snd_soc_card definition, one may forget to set the owner field and lead to a NULL module easily.
For catching such an overlook, add a WARN_ON() in snd_card_new(). Also, put the card->module assignment in the ifdef block for a very minor optimization.

Would it make sense to also change the ASoC code to use THIS_MODULE instead of card->owner?
/* card bind complete so register a sound card */ ret = snd_card_new(card->dev, SNDRV_DEFAULT_IDX1, SNDRV_DEFAULT_STR1, card->owner, 0, &card->snd_card);
A quick grep shows we are setting .owner = THIS_MODULE pretty much all the time for machine drivers.
