Then that other uses are most probably faulty too.

You can easily test it by loading all necessary sound modules,
starting some application that uses the sound device (e.g. alsamixer)
and then removing the snd-soc-mxs-sgtl5000 module.

Without the patch the removal will succeed crashing the
application. With this patch the refcount of the module will be
> 0 as long as an application is using it, preventing the
removal.
