      Yes, I have PCA9545 Mux device. LM75 device was connected to PCA9545
Mux devices (Mux device
      is connected to SMBUS). At first I unloaded PCA954x module, It hanged
at lm75_remove. Later I had
      to tried remove the lm75 device using sysfs, again it hanged at same
location. Both PCA Mux device and
      lm75 devvice instantiated using sysfs new_device.
