Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: amd: Fix for Subsequent Playback issue.

If we play audio back to back, which kills one playback
and immediately start another, we can hear clicks.
This patch fixes the issue.

This free looks like a separate change which seems good and useful but
should be in a separate patch?

In what way is it part of the fix? This at least needs some sort of
explanation somewhere, the changelog at least if not the code.

If the rtd is still being referenced after the kfree() you have a use
after free bug so there's a serious problem there and this change is
introducing a bug, you can only free things if they are not in use. At
a bare minimum I need the changelog to clearly explain what the cause of
the clicks is and how the change fixes that.

I will create a separate patch for kfree and separate one for subsequent
play back issue.
