[ Upstream commit fd748e177194ebcbbaf98df75152a30e08230cc6 ]
The of_device_unregister call in therm_windtunnel's module_exit procedure
does not fully reverse the effects of of_platform_device_create in the
module_init prodedure. Once you unload this module, it is impossible
to load it ever again since only the first of_platform_device_create
call on the fan node succeeds.
This driver predates first git commit, and it turns out back then
of_platform_device_create worked differently than it does today.
So this is actually an old regression.
The appropriate function to undo of_platform_device_create now appears
to be of_platform_device_destroy, and switching to use this makes it
possible to unload and load the module as expected.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
