Subject: [PATCH] regulator: fix tps6524x section mismatch

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@...cle.com>

Fix section mismatch that is caused by init code calling exit code:
pmic_remove() cannot be marked as __devexit.

WARNING: drivers/regulator/tps6524x-regulator.o(.devinit.text+0x205): Section mismatch in reference from the function pmic_probe() to the function .devexit.text:pmic_remove()
The function __devinit pmic_probe() references
a function __devexit pmic_remove().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __devexit annotation of
pmic_remove() so it may be used outside an exit section.
