Fixed it.

It happens at two very distinct places in the run path, disabling a setting
may appear at a totally different place in the dmesg so I think so.

It's just below the just added code that will avoid free:ing a pin if some
other setting is muxing it, so it's this print I was talking about
with Sonic.
