They don't and that's the generic problem of many Linux drivers. Not
only this one, but others as well.

Device unbind (remove()) or runtime suspend of one speaker will affect
other speaker. I don't think any other drivers solved this, because this
is rather core's GPIO issue, thus I am not solving it here either. :(
