Does this also need a hunk in tpm_ibmvtpm_remove to null the drvdata
after removal, or does something in the driver code guarentee it is
null'd after remove?
We don't want to use-after-free chip on the next probe cycle.

Maybe just do this, clearer that it is chip that can be null. We do
not want to see drivers testing their chip drvdata against null.
Also, how does locking work here? Does the vio core prevent
tpm_ibmvtpm_get_desired_dma and tpm_ibmvtpm_remove from running
concurrently?
