[PATCH] ALSA: Fix sysfs breakage
The recent change for a new sysfs tree with card* object breaks the
/sys/class/sound tree if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled.
The device in each entry doesn't point the correct device object:
/sys/class/sound
...
|-- pcmC0D0c
| |-- dev
| |-- device -> ../../../class/sound/card0
| |-- pcm_class
| |-- power
| | `-- wakeup
| |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/sound
| `-- uevent
Also, this change breaks some drivers (like sound/arm/*) referring
card->dev directly to obtain the device object for memory handling.
This patch reverts the semantics of card->dev to the former version,
which points to a real device object. The card* object is stored in a
new card->card_dev field, instead. The device parent is chosen either
card->dev or card->card_dev according to CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to
keep the tree compatibility.
Also, card* isn't created if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The
reason of card* object is a root of all beloing devices, and it makes
little sense if each sound device points to the real device object
directly.
