What 'bunch of out of tree branches'? There is a single merge branch against current mainline. And no you don't trigger this by removing a module. platform_driver_unregister() != platform_device_register(). I'll try to figure out something simpler, but it's pretty damn obvious that something is not right there. Do you think fixing problems in that part of platform device removal was something I did because I didn't have other things to do? It is broken and I'm trying to get it fixed.
