I don't know where you found this. I have look even in older versions, but the pointer divas_proc_entry is set by proc_create(). The patch to divasproc.c is wrong, it exists from the beginning of the driver. (2.6.25.4 doesn't contain the bug you describe).

Agreed here. The reason for doing remove_divas_proc() anyway, was to make sure all possible settings done in !create_divas_proc() are reverted. But since nothing else is done here, it is okay to remove it.
