At probe time, the musb_am335x driver register its childs by calling of_platform_populate(), which registers all childs in the devicetree hierarchy recursively. On the other side, the driver's remove() function uses of_device_unregister() to remove each child of musb_am335x's. However, when musb_dsps is loaded, its devices are attached to the musb_am335x device as musb_am335x childs. Hence, musb_am335x remove() will attempt to unregister the devices registered by musb_dsps, which produces a kernel panic. In other words, the childs in the "struct device" hierarchy are not the same as the childs in the "devicetree" hierarchy. Ideally, we should enforce the removal of the devices registered by musb_am335x *only*, instead of all its child devices. However, because of the recursive nature of of_platform_populate, this doesn't seem possible. Therefore, as the only solution at hand, this commit disables musb_am335x driver removal capability, preventing it from being ever removed. This was originally suggested by Sebastian Siewior: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg104946.html And for reference, here's the panic upon module removal: musb-hdrc
