Subject: broken modules - hgafb and physmap !?

i did some module tests with 2.6.24-rc  kernel (suse) and think i found some issues with modules.
for some of those i found i`m not yet sure if they are mainline issues, but the following should exist in mainline too (see below)

i searched this list and also bugzilla and found no reference there, so maybe it`s worth posting it here.

anyway, these are probably minor/cosmetic.

modprobe hgafb; rmmod hgafb
modprobe physmap;rmmod physmap

hgafb: HGA card not detected.
hgafb: probe of hgafb.0 failed with error -22
Device 'hgafb.0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
