After a quick scan of this driver you'd expect something like
    static void __exit slimpro_mbox_exit(void)
    {
	platform_driver_unregister(&slimpro_mbox_driver);
    }
    module_exit(slimpro_mbox_exit);

too here. At least, I do. Is there some non-obvious (to me) reason this
driver can't be unloaded if it is built as a module?
