That's not true for everything
Hmm, which driver does behave so intentionally? I'm interested in the supposed reason behind it.
Relatively few of the subsystems in drivers have references to module_get().
and for ASoC I'd tend to assume that the user knows what they're doing and has a good reason for it; it's certainly something that can be helpful in development.
The module unload is never considered to be equivalent with hot unplug It's more than that.
I'm not sure that's the case from a user perspective.
