Hmm, how does it be?  In drivers/media/Makefile:

ifeq ($(CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER),y)
  obj-$(CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT) += media.o
endif

So it's a module.  Meanwhile you have reference from usb-audio driver
that is built-in kernel.  How is the symbol resolved?

So, it's 100% safe to call all these media_*() functions while the
device is being accessed before closing?
