Subject: [090/129] Input: i8042 - fix device removal on unload

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@...il.com>

commit af045b86662f17bf130239a65995c61a34f00a6b upstream.

We need to call platform_device_unregister(i8042_platform_device)
before calling platform_driver_unregister() because i8042_remove()
resets i8042_platform_device to NULL. This leaves the platform device
instance behind and prevents driver reload.

Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16613
