remoteproc drivers call qcom_pdm_start(). This brings in this module
via symbol deps.

I don't think we are supposed to have devices for software things?
This is purely a software construct. It replaces userspace daemon for
the reason outlined in the cover letter, but other than that there is
no hardware entity. Not even a firmware entity to drive this thing.

No, I mean runtime load dependencies.

If for some reason somebody has called qcom_pdm_get() without
qcom_pdm_release(), then yes. To make it 100% safe, I can cleanup
actions to module_exit(), but for me it looks like an overkill.
