In the current implementation, `rmmod snd_bcm2835` does not release
resources properly. It causes an oops when trying to list sound devices.

This commit fixes it.
Nice catch!

See my comments below.
 static void snd_devm_unregister_child(struct device *dev, void *res)
 {
        struct device *childdev = *(struct device **)res;
+       struct bcm2835_chip *chip = dev_get_drvdata(childdev);
+       struct snd_card *card = chip->card;
+
+       snd_card_free(card);
+       dev_set_drvdata(childdev, NULL);
AFAIU this is done by device core.
        device_unregister(childdev);
 }
+static void snd_devm_release(struct device *dev)
+{
+       struct bcm2835_chip *chip = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
+
+       kfree(chip);
+}

Do you call device_register() inside snd_device_new()?
In this case you might need put_device() here instead of simple kfree().
                return err;
        }
