Oops, it was alreay posted and accepted :)

	d918a37610b1bf71faa86f589bd7604f71c1e05f
	("ASoC: soc-core: tidyup soc_new_pcm_runtime() alloc order")

above rtd, rtd->codec_dais are devm_kzalloc() by original dev
(which will be rtd->dev) instead of card/component dev.

It is registered by device_register() at soc_new_pcm_runtime(),
and will be unregistered by device_unregister() at soc_free_pcm_runtime()
when card was removed.

It is a little bit tricky, but 
these are chain-freed when card was removed.
If my understanding was correct, we don't have memory leak
by multiple times card/components remove.
But, please double check.

	user removed card
	 -> snd_soc_unbind_card()
	  -> soc_cleanup_card_resources()
	   -> soc_remove_pcm_runtimes()
	    -> soc_free_pcm_runtime()
(*)	     -> device_unregister(rtd->dev);

rtd->dev will be kfree() by soc_release_rtd_dev at (*),
then, rtd, rtd->codec_dais will be kfree() via devm_

Thank you for your help !!
Best regards
