[alsa-devel] [PATCH 2/3] ASoC: don't register AC97 devices twice

[Mika Westerberg]

With generic AC97 ASoC glue driver (codec/ac97.c), we get following warning when
the device is registered (slightly stripped the backtrace):

kobject (c5a863e8): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously
                    wrong.

[<c0062ddc>] (sys_init_module+0x12b0/0x1454)

This happens because the generic AC97 glue driver creates its codec->ac97 via
calling snd_ac97_mixer(). snd_ac97_mixer() provides own version of
snd_device.register which handles the device registration when
snd_card_register() is called.

To avoid registering the AC97 device twice, we add a new flag to the
snd_soc_codec: ac97_created which tells whether the AC97 device was created by
SoC subsystem.

I'm not sure whether this is the best solution to the issue. Maybe we could just
check codec->ac97->dev.bus and refuse to register the device again?
