Call try_module_get() on a component before attempting to call its bind() function, to ensure that a loadable module cannot be unloaded while we are executing its bind(). If the bind is successful the module_put() is called only after it has been unbound. This ensures that the module cannot be unloaded while it is in use as an aggregate device.
