This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
VME: restore bus_remove function causing incomplete module unload
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: VME: restore bus_remove function causing incomplete module unload
Commit 050c3d52cc7810d9d17b8cd231708609af6876ae ("vme: make core
vme support explicitly non-modular") dropped the remove function
because it appeared as if it was for removal of the bus, which is
not supported.
However, vme_bus_remove() is called when a VME device is removed
from the bus and not when the bus is removed; as it calls the VME
device driver's cleanup function. Without this function, the
remove() in the VME device driver is never called and VME device
drivers cannot be reloaded again.
Here we restore the remove function that was deleted in that
commit, and the reference to the function in the bus structure.
Fixes: 050c3d52cc78 ("vme: make core vme support explicitly non-modular")
