[PATCH 1/5] staging: lirc_serial: Fix init/exit order

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

Currently the module init function registers a platform_device and
only then allocates its IRQ and I/O region.  This allows allocation to
race with the device's suspend() function.  Instead, allocate
resources in the platform driver's probe() function and free them in
the remove() function.

The module exit function removes the platform device before the
character device that provides access to it.  Change it to reverse the
order of initialisation.

The down-side of this is that module insertion now succeeds even if the
device can't be probed.  But that's how most driver modules work, and
there will be obvious error messages logged on failure.

Ben.
