HD-audio driver handles the multiple instances and keeps the static index that is incremented at each probe. This becomes a problem when user tries to re-bind the device via sysfs multiple times; as the device index isn't cleared unlike rmmod case, it points to the next element at re-binding, and eventually later you can't probe any more when it reaches to SNDRV_CARDS_MAX (usually 32). This patch is an attempt to improve the handling at rebinding. Instead of a static device index, now we keep a bitmap and assigns to the first zero bit position. At the driver remove, in return, the bitmap slot is cleared again, so that it'll be available for the next probe.

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.
