[PATCH] ASoC: codecs: pm4125: clean up bind() device reference handling

From: Johan Hovold

Date: Fri Dec 19 2025 - 09:24:26 EST


A recent change fixed a couple of device leaks on component bind failure
and on unbind but did so in a confusing way by adding misleading
initialisations at bind() and bogus NULL checks at unbind().
