Going back over the current version you could unload it but you rely upon the iosf_mbi_available caller locking the module in memory (which I think is fair) and someone not forcing a hot unplug of any kind from userspace, in which case life gets a bit odd as we clear mbi_pdev in the exit method not when the device is unplugged. Probably for the best as with a remove method you'd need to check the mbi_pdev pointer inside iosf_mbi_lock and also clear it under the lock.
