Sorry I didn't get to this earlier.  I just fell off my radar.

So far, so good.

Hmm... The only time that can happen is if the device tree is wrong or
the hardware is broken.  This means that cs4270_i2c_probe() will
return an error.  What does i2c_add_driver() return in that case?  If
it still returns 0, then control_data will be NULL, but with your
patch, i2c_del_driver() will still be called.

Also, I think there's a bug in cs4270_i2c_probe(), where it will call
i2c_detach_driver() if it fails.  It shouldn't do that.  This is also
gated on codec->control_data, so it's a related bug.

Lastly, you may need to rebase the patch, since the code's changed.
