The code seems fine, but I think there's some things that need to be
clarified on the commit message for future reference.
Can you add a short text describing *why* you only do that in
efi_disk_probe() and not when the disk is signalled to be removed as well?
IOW mention the fact that the _remove() callback is always called when we
are exiting U-Boot trying to boot and OS, so running the same function in
remove doesn't currently make sense.

With that addition
