Sorry my mistake. I misspoke. My config had:
CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=m
CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER=y
CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m

The following doesn't work as you pointed out.

CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=m
CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER=y
CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y

okay here is what will work for all of the possible
combinations of CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT and CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO

select SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER \
       if MEDIA_CONTROLLER && ((MEDIA_SUPPORT=y) || (MEDIA_SUPPORT=m && SND_USB_AUDIO=m))

The above will cover the cases when

1. CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT and CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO are
   both modules
   CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is selected

2. CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=y and CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m
   CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is selected

3. CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=y and CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y
   CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is selected

4. CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=m and CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y
   This is when we don't want
   CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER selected

I verified all of the above combinations to make sure
the logic works.

If you think of a better way to do this please let me
know. I will go ahead and send patch v4 with the above
change and you can decide if that is acceptable.

There is a known problem with device removal when
media device file is open and ioctl is in progress.
This isn't specific to this patch series, a general
problem that is related to media device removal in
general.

I am working on a fix for this problem. As you said,
earlier, I can work on fixing issues after the merge.
