commit 200bddbb3f5202bbce96444fdc416305de14f547 upstream.
With CONFIG_PCIE_KEYSTONE=y and ks_pcie_remove() marked with __exit, the
function is discarded from the driver. In this case a bound device can
still get unbound, e.g via sysfs. Then no cleanup code is run resulting in
resource leaks or worse.
The right thing to do is do always have the remove callback available.
Note that this driver cannot be compiled as a module, so ks_pcie_remove()
was always discarded before this change and modpost couldn't warn about
this issue. Furthermore the __ref annotation also prevents a warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
