Do we see a similar crash with the hdac-hda stuff, too?

And, after avs_hdaudio_driver_exit() is called, why the codec object
still remains bound with the HD-audio (Realtek or whatever) codec
driver?

Admittedly, the plumbing work for ASoC HD-audio was somewhat messy,
and it's fine if we can clean things up.

snd_hda_codec_cleanup_for_unbind() is certainly written for unbinding
the codec driver, and if a part of that function code is needed for
different purposes, it should be factored out properly, at least.
