True, but we don't need a label here, as kfree() can be called with a null
pointer.

We may try to address those media-controller dependent code latter on.

I have some ideas of adding some macros and helper functions to allow
getting rid of those ifdefs and not add extra code if !MEDIA_CONTROLLER,
but the better seems to first add MC support to ALSA and make the
enable/disable functions generic, and then cleanup the code to remove
those ifdefs.

Agreed.

In this case, if label is in normal path, we will see defined, but not
used warnings when condition isn't defined. We seem to have many such
cases for CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER :(

No need. kfree(NULL) is OK.

Adding a label inside a conditional block is ugly.
