Having a look at the commit message of "ALSA: hda: fix general protection
fault in azx_runtime_idle" the following sounds weird:

  - pci-driver.c:pm_runtime_put_sync() leads to a call
    to rpm_idle() which again calls azx_runtime_idle()

rpm_idle() is only called if usage_count is 1 when entering
pm_runtime_put_sync. And this should not be the case.
pm_runtime_get_sync() increments the usage counter before remove()
is called, and remove() should also increment the usage counter.
This doesn't seem to happen. Maybe for whatever reason 
pm_runtime_get_noresume() isn't called in azx_free(), or azx_free()
isn't called from remove().
I think you should trace the call chain from the PCI core calling
remove() to pm_runtime_get_noresume() getting called or not.
