I'm not correct in the cover letter, the actual problem with operation
region remove is with module unload, it happens like this:

The acpi_remove_address_space_handler doesn't wait for the current
running handler to return, so if we call
acpi_remove_address_space_handler in a module's exit function, the
handler's memory will be freed and the running handler will access to
a no longer valid memory place.

So as long as we can make sure the handler will not go away from the
memory, we are safe.

With this said, the updated patch is here:

The same virtual GPIO strategy is also used for the AXP288 PMIC in that
various control methods that are used to do power rail handling and
sensor reading/setting will touch GPIO fields defined under the PMIC
device. The GPIO fileds are only defined by the ACPI code while the
actual hardware doesn't really have a GPIO controller, but to make those
control method execution succeed, we have to install a GPIO handler for
the PMIC device handle. Since we do not need the virtual GPIO strategy,
we can simply do nothing in that handler.
