This reverts commit d9c60badccc183eb971e0941bb86f9475d4b9551.

It has been reported that stopping kthreads corrupts the VC04 firmware
and creates issues at boot time.

A fix-up version of this patch [2] was also attempted but it also doesn't
the usual approach (hash + subject) to reference a commit would be
better, even the commit hasn't be applied yet to mainline.

properly fix the TODO (i.e. clean module unload) and similar errors
were observed when stopping these khthreads on RaspberryPi 3.

Hence, revert the entire patch for now since it is not very clear why
stopping the kthreads breaks the firmware.

There is no reference to [1]. I assume this should be in the second
sentence.

Except of these nits, the patch looks good to me.

Best regards
