This patch fixes a bug that prevents freeing the reset gpio on unloading the module.
aic3x_i2c_probe is called when loading the module and it calls list_add with a probably uninitialized list entry aic3x->list (next = prev = NULL)). So even if list_del is called it does nothing and in the end the gpio_reset is not freed. Then a repeated module probing fails silently because gpio_request fails. When moving INIT_LIST_HEAD to aic3x_i2c_probe we also have to move list_del to aic3x_i2c_remove because aic3x_remove may be called multiple times without aic3x_i2c_remove being called which leads to a NULL pointer dereference.
