commit75a25d31b8upstream. Unloading then loading the module causes a NULL ponter dereference. The hda_unbind zeroes the hda_component, later the hda_bind tries to dereference the codec field. The hda_component is only initialized once by tas2781_generic_fixup. Set only previously modified fields to NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
