With CONFIG_PCI_EXYNOS=y and exynos_pcie_remove() marked with __exit, the function is discarded from the driver. In this case a bound device can still get unbound, e.g via sysfs. Then no cleanup code is run resulting in resource leaks or worse. The right thing to do is do always have the remove callback available. This fixes the following warning by modpost: WARNING: modpost: drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-exynos: section mismatch in reference: exynos_pcie_driver+0x8 (section: .data) -> exynos_pcie_remove (section: .exit.text) (with ARCH=x86_64 W=1 allmodconfig).
