Right.

The reason of this clean-up is that I wanted to avoid a checkpatch 
warning with the proposed patch and I felt that having the same layout 
in the error handling path of the probe function and in the remove 
function was clearer.
So I updated also the remove function.

Fell free to ignore this hunk if not desired. I will not sent a V2 only 
for that.
