3.16.7-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan at kernel.org>

commit 01cca93a9491ed95992523ff7e79dd9bfcdea8e0 upstream.

Unregister gpiochip device (used to export information through sysfs)
before removing it internally. This way removal will reverse addition.
