Subject: iio: magnetometer: ak8974: remove incorrect __exit markups
From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 3ff861f59f6c1f5bf2bc03d2cd36ac3f992cbc06 upstream.
Even if bus is not hot-pluggable, devices can be unbound from the
driver via sysfs, so we should not be using __exit annotations on
remove() methods. The only exception is drivers registered with
platform_driver_probe() which specifically disables sysfs bind/unbind
attributes.
