PCI: exynos: Don't discard .remove() callback
[ Upstream commit 83a939f0fdc208ff3639dd3d42ac9b3c35607fd2 ]
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).
Fixes: 340cba6092c2 ("pci: Add PCIe driver for Samsung Exynos")
