The SSIF driver was removing any client that came in through the
platform interface, but it should only remove clients that it
added. On a failure in the probe function, this could result
in the following oops when the driver is removed and the
client gets unregistered twice:

So track the clients that the SSIF driver adds and only remove
those.

George, your fix was close, but not quite right. The following
should fix the problem, obvious in hindsight :-). Thanks for working
with me on this.

Thanks Corey!!!
This works for me now.


Thanks. Can I add a Tested-by: from you?
Yes.
