PCI: pci.txt fix __devexit() usage
Marin Mitov <mitov@issp.bas.bg> spotted a brainfart where I had failed to update copied text with *_remove and __devexit(). Marin made a good comment in his email to me: | mydriver_probe() is _always_ executed, while mydriver_remove() is not. | See: include/linux/init.h Which says: /* Functions marked as __devexit may be discarded at kernel link time, depending on config options. Newer versions of binutils detect references from retained sections to discarded sections and flag an error. Pointers to __devexit functions must use __devexit_p(function_name), the wrapper will insert either the function_name or NULL, depending on the config options. */ Signed-off-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
