The following crash happens when trying to unload the snd_soc_imx_wm8962 module
while playback is active:

In order to avoid such problem, fill the card owner field as suggested by
Lars-Peter Clausen:
"But looking at the source it seems that this is a core feature of ALSA and at
least for the card module itself it will do the ref-counting when a stream is
started/stopped. And we even support setting the owner of a card in ASoC.
It's just that pretty much no ASoC card driver bothers to set the owner field
in the snd_soc_card struct. So this particular problem can be fixed by updating
the imx-wm8962 driver to set the owner field."
By doing as suggested, we no longer see the crash when attempting to unload the
snd_soc_imx_wm8962 module while playback is active:
$ modprobe -r snd_soc_imx_wm8962
modprobe: can't unload module snd_soc_imx_wm8962: Resource temporarily
