When the card is registered by the machine driver,
dai link components are probed after the snd_card is
created. This is done in snd_soc_bind_card() which calls
snd_soc_instantiate_card() to first create the snd_card
and then probes the link components by calling
soc_probe_link_components(). The snd_card is used by the
component driver to add the kcontrols associated
with dapm widgets to the card.
When the machine driver is unregistered, the snd_card
is freed when the card resources are cleaned up.
But the snd_card needs to be valid while unloading the
topology dapm widgets in order to remove the kcontrols
from the card.
Since, unloading topology is done when the component
driver is removed, the link components should be removed
in snd_soc_unbind_card(). This will ensure that the kcontrols
are removed before the card resources are cleaned up and
the snd_card itself is freed.
