Good catch, thanks.

I assumed that not having a remove function makes the device not
detachable. Not sure about that.
Looking at the code I found that not having a remove function can yield
surprises, though. If your driver has a probe but no remove function the
platform bus glue calls

	dev_pm_domain_attach(_dev, true);

at probe time, but not

	dev_pm_domain_detach(_dev, true);

at remove. I admit I don't know about that dev_pm_domain stuff, but it
looks wrong to only have one but not the other. Greg?

Best regards
Uwe
