This is a problem that needs to be fixed indeed. However the same problem 
exists in samsung_i2s_remove() as well (at least in latest linux-next).

This makes me wonder what happens with i2s_pdata in DT case. Most of drivers 
allocate a pdata struct anyway and fill it with data parsed from device tree. 
This allows rest of the code to remain unmodified and consider DT and non-DT 
cases equal.
