[PATCH] i2c-pxa: fix unbidding/rebidding of the device

When a "pxa2xx-i2c" device was unbound (e.g. via sysfs) the remove
callback was not called because it was discarded when linking the
kernel.  Because of that the resources allocated in probe were not
freed and so a clean unbind/rebind was impossible.

Fix that by moving the remove callback to .devexit.text.
