You're right.  I wonder if there is really any need for the
lm3554_gpio_uninit() function at all?  It's basically the same as
lm3554_gpio_init() except for the order of function calls.  Probably
we could just rename lm3554_gpio_init() to something like
lm3554_gpio_set_default() and use it in both the probe() and remove
functions()...

But I don't know the code and can't test it so let's leave that for
another day.

We still do need to clean up if atomisp_register_i2c_module() fails
though, and the timer as well so could you resend a v2?
