Functions that are annotated __exit are discarded for built-in drivers, but the .remove callback in a device driver must still be kept around to allow bind/unbind operations.
There is now a linker warning for the discarded symbol references:
`tmc_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-core.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-core.o `tpiu_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tpiu.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tpiu.o `etb_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etb10.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etb10.o `static_funnel_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.o `dynamic_funnel_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.o `static_replicator_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-replicator.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-replicator.o `dynamic_replicator_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-replicator.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-replicator.o `catu_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.o
Remove all those annotations.
