[PATCH] ALSA: Fix sysfs breakage

Browse Source 
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.
