Calling optee_disable_shm_cache() in both if and else. It could be
put in front of if().

   Ideally, I could just use optee_remove for shutdown() too.
But it would not look good. Hence this approach.

What is the problem with using optee_remove() for shutdown()?

 There is no problem, I just thought it would be more cleaner/readable
with this approach. If you'd like to keep it simple by just calling
optee_remove() for shutdown() too, I could quickly send out V2.

In the patch you posted it looks like you'd like to call
only optee_disable_shm_cache() in the case of shutdown. Like:

static void optee_shutdown(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
        optee_disable_shm_cache(platform_get_drvdata(pdev));
}

and optee_remove() kept as it was before this patch.
