Any reasons you want to put kfree() here? You allocated the memory
in usb_charger_init(). Isn't usb_charger_exit() a better place?
The usb_charger_exit() will issue usb_charger_unregister() and we need
use the usb_charger structure in usb_charger_unregister() to
unregister the usb charger.
This seems not to be a strong reason. :-)

You can unregister the charger first and then free the structure.
Just do the reverse operation of what you have done in the init
function.
Make sense to me. I will modify this in next version. Thanks for your comments.
