Several functions that take part in codec's initialization and removal are re-used by ASoC codec drivers implementations. Drivers mimic the behavior of hda_codec_driver_probe/remove() found in sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c with their component->probe/remove() instead.
One of the reasons for that is the expectation of snd_hda_codec_device_new() to receive a valid pointer to an instance of struct snd_card. This expectation can be met only once sound card components probing commences.
As ASoC sound card may be unbound without codec device being actually removed from the system, unsetting ->preset in snd_hda_codec_cleanup_for_unbind() interferes with module unload -> load scenario causing null-ptr-deref. Preset is assigned only once, during device/driver matching whereas ASoC codec driver's module reloading may occur several times throughout the lifetime of an audio stack.

Changes in v2:
- relocated the operation to routines found in hda_bind.c rather than just removing it from the cleanup function
This is a continuation of a discussion that begun in the middle of 2022 [1] and was part of a larger series addressing several HDAudio topics.
Single rmmod on ASoC's codec driver module is enough to cause a panic. Given our results, no regression shows up with modprobe/rmmod on snd_hda_intel side with this patch applied.
Thanks, applied now.
