The change of the zero_unbind and eth_unbind calls to use __exit
  breaks the driver on ARM.  It causes a difficult to locate error:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
local symbol 0: discarded in section `.exit.text' from drivers/built-in.o
drivers/built-in.o(.init.text+0x3880): In function `release_mem':
drivers/char/tty_io.c:1690: relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_PC24 .exit.text
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

  or a variant.  My understanding is that this doesn't work because
  the section where this function is stored has become discardable.

  With this change, the gadget driver is unlinkable on my target, and
  I suspect is broken on ARMs as well, but I haven't verified that.

  On ARM, .exit.text is marked discardable:

        /DISCARD/ : {                   /* Exit code and data           */
                *(.exit.text)
                *(.exit.data)
                *(.exitcall.exit)
        }

  I'll post to lak to see what they think.  I don't see why this
  would be the case.
