There is one more in the DaVinci cpufreq driver, but that one never
triggers a warning, as it cannot be a module.

So either davinci_cpufreq_remove() should be removed (it is never
emitted), or the __exit and __exit_p() should be dropped (then it can
be unbound manually, but never rebound).

Thoughts?
