I spotted out a typo in my previous patch that leads to the module
reference unbalance.  The fix is  already in sound.git tree today:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/?h=for-linus&id=fc18282cdcba984ab89c74d7e844c10114ae0795

The bug was introduced after 4.12.
