commit 95caa0a9bdaf93607bd0cc8932f53112496f2f22 upstream.

Actually the icom driver is crashing when is being removed because
the driver is kfreeing the adapter structure before calling
pci_release_regions(), which result in the following error:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6d33
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000246b80
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
