snd-hda-intel driver handles the most of its probe task in the delayed work (either via workqueue or via firmware loader). When an error happens in the later delayed probe, we can't deregister the device itself because the probe callback already returned success and the device was bound. So, for now, we set hda->init_failed flag and make the rest untouched until the device gets really unbound. However, this leaves the device up running, keeping the resources without any use that prevents other operations. In this patch, we release the resources at first when a probe error happens in the delayed probe stage, but keeps the top-level object, so that the PM and other ops can still refer to the object itself. Also for simplicity, snd_hda_intel object is allocated via devm, so that we can get rid of the explicit kfree calls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
