This is caused because with PCI hotplug the device might be probed after the init section
has been removed.  Ditto for remove.
This device will never ever meet a platform where it can be hotplugged.

According to a FreeBSD list from 1995, you could get these chips on a PCI
card from several different vendors.

Yes, they are ancient 32-bit PCI cards, which will never make an appearance on a PCI hotplug platform. So, it's wasteful to support hotplug in code that will never be hotplugged (as I've said for years).
