look at the implementation of platform_drv_remove():

 499 static int platform_drv_remove(struct device *_dev)
 500 {
 501         struct platform_driver *drv = to_platform_driver(_dev->driver);
 502         struct platform_device *dev = to_platform_device(_dev);
 503         int ret;
 504 
 505         ret = drv->remove(dev);
 506         if (ACPI_HANDLE(_dev))
 507                 acpi_dev_pm_detach(_dev, true);
 508 
 509         return ret;
 510 }

that's not a conditional call right :-)
