Actually no, it makes more sense to call ->exit() after destroying the
maps, because the platform-specific ->exit() implem might release
resources that are used during the destroy_map() operation. Another
reason to keep it in this order is that operations in the remove path
should be in the reverse order of those done in the probe path, and
->init() is definitely called before map_probe().

Maybe it's just a side effect, especially since I'm pretty sure your
physmap_data->exit() is NULL (assuming you do use DT to declare your
flash).

I'd like to understand what's happening before doing this change. As I
said, I fear this reordering just hides something else.
