what makes you think that the use of hw_params and hw_free is symmetrical?

A couple of years ago we found a case where the FE hw_params failed, and
in that case the BE hw_free was called without the BE hw_params ever
being invoked first. This is due to the DPCM error handling, and as a
result all our hw_free implementations test if the resources are
actually allocated/valid and never assume hw_params was used.

IIRC it's also valid to call hw_params multiple times without calling
hw_free every time.
