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.

                 unconditionally'

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
