These are driver specific issues not device model issues as far as I can
see?  The issue fixed by this as is that you're storing a pointer in the
ASoC level (not device model level) probe that you don't free when the
component is unbound, causing you to dereference it later during
suspend.  There is absolutely no problem with the machine driver not
being guaranteed to bind at the time it's initially registered, that's
perfectly normal and should cause no problems.
