I think you can leave __exit annotation here, if you enclose the
reference in the driver structure in __exit_p()...

The driver is using module_platform_driver(), not
module_platform_driver_probe(),
so it expects the platform device to show up or disappear anytime.

Well, I don't think it actually does. Perhaps the reason was that the latter function wasn't available yet at the time of conversion to the former (IIRC it appeared later).

WBR, Sergei
