The patch
ASoC: core: conditionally increase module refcount on component open
has been applied to the asoc tree at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.
Thanks, Mark

From: Ranjani Sridharan ranjani.sridharan@linux.intel.com Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2019 09:57:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: core: conditionally increase module refcount on component open
Recently, for Intel platforms the "ignore_module_refcount" field was introduced for the component driver. In order to avoid a deadlock preventing the PCI modules from being removed even when the card was idle, the refcounts were not incremented for the device driver module during component probe.
However, this change introduced a nasty side effect: the device driver module can be unloaded while a pcm stream is open.
This patch proposes to change the field to be renamed as "module_get_upon_open". When this field is set, the module refcount should be incremented on pcm open amd decremented upon pcm close. This will enable modules to be removed when no PCM playback/capture happens and prevent removal when the component is actually in use.
Also, align with the skylake component driver with the new name.
