While this fixes the warning, it's the wrong fix. The correct fix is to
remove the __exit_p. E.g. something like this:

--- a/drivers/dma/timb_dma.c
+++ b/drivers/dma/timb_dma.c
@@ -823,7 +823,7 @@ static struct platform_driver td_driver = {
 		.owner  = THIS_MODULE,
 	},
 	.probe	= td_probe,
-	.remove	= __exit_p(td_remove),
+	.remove	= td_remove,
 };

 module_platform_driver(td_driver);
