Subject: [PATCH 09/30] staging/vme: fill in struct device's .release, even if it's a NOOP

From: Emilio G. Cota <cota@...ap.org>

Without it we get 32 warnings, one per device being released, when
removing a bridge module.

After applying this patch, bridge modules can at last be removed
without any apparent hiccup.

[Note: tested only on the tsi148, it's the only bridge I've got]
