a bit of explanation would be nice here. Something like:
Subject: i2c-pxa: make sure the remove callback is called on unbind
When a "pxa2xx-i2c" device was unbound (e.g. via sysfs) the remove
callback was not called because it was discarded after boot or module
load time. Because of that the resources allocated in probe were not
freed and so a rebind was impossible.
Fix that by moving the remove callback to .devexit.text.
This way everyone can understand that a real bug is fixed here.
Best regards
Uwe
