NAK on moving this up here. It was specifically placed below the core
and below the older drm_slave_encoder code because nothing but the new
component based interfaces to TDA998x have any business knowing that
these are packaged up in this way.

This is really not on. Firstly, registering a platform device has no
guarantee that it will bind to a driver. So, pdev->dev.driver may be
NULL here -> kernel oops.
Secondly, what's the purpose of the unchecked try_module_get() there?
You can't stop the device being unbound from its driver, so all you're
doing is possibly locking the module into module space for no other
benefit.

This is wrong for all the reasons the other part above is wrong.
Userspace can decide to unbind the platform device from the associated
platform driver whenever it wishes. At that point,
priv->pdev_codec->dev.driver becomes NULL.
So, please get rid of this.

This leaks the memory associated with the platform device.

I would prefer this structure to stay here, as code above this point should
have no business knowing how these are packaged together. I would suggest
either:
- moving the audio codec code below this point, or
- storing struct tda998x_priv in the device private pointer, and
converting it to struct tda998x_priv2 via container_of() where
necessary below this point.

The second option seems easier for use as a slave encoder.
Thanks for all your remarks. I will send an other version.
