Currently there is no module_exit declared in SDMA driver, so that once sdma module is inserted, it's shown with permanent attribute by lsmod, and it can't be removed. Use module_platform_driver to register/unregister SDMA driver and modify SDMA's remove operation, to make SDMA driver possible to be removed.
