The mainline code currently prevents modules from being removed. The BE dailink .init() function calls devm_gpiod_get() using the codec component device as argument. When the machine driver is removed, the references to the gpiod are not released, and it's not possible to remove the codec driver module - which is the only entity which could free the gpiod. This conceptual deadlock can be avoided by invoking gpiod_get() in the .init() callback, and calling gpiod_put() in the exit() callback. Tested on SAMUS Chromebook with SOF driver.

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.
