If we wait until the GPIO device's .release() callback gets invoked
before we remove it from the global device list, then we risk that
someone will look it up using gpio_device_find() between where we
dropped the last reference and before .release() is done taking a
reference again to an object that's being released.
The device must be removed when it's being unregistered - just like how
we remove it from the GPIO bus.

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.
