Subject[PATCH] alarmtimer: add .remove_dev hook to put device
Date
The following is a test sequence that installs a rtc module, remove it
and installs it again.

$ insmod rtc-snvs.ko
snvs_rtc 20cc034.snvs-rtc-lp: rtc core: registered 20cc034.snvs-rtc-lp as rtc0
$ hwclock
Thu Jul 5 08:53:35 2012 0.000000 seconds
$ rmmod rtc-snvs.ko
$ insmod rtc-snvs.ko
snvs_rtc 20cc034.snvs-rtc-lp: rtc core: registered 20cc034.snvs-rtc-lp as rtc1
$ hwclock
hwclock: can't open '/dev/misc/rtc': No such file or directory
$

The device is registered as rtc0 for the first time insmod, while it
becomes rtc1 with the later insmod.

It's root caused by alarmtimer which never puts the device even when
the rtc is removed. The patch adds a .remove_dev hook to have device
properly put, so that above insmod/rmmod sequence can the rtc device
registered in a consistent behavior.
