You can remove the driver from the device by writing to the "unbind"
file in sysfs for this driver.

Otherwise, yes, you are correct, you can not remove the module from the
system if the file is open, but that does not prevent the driver from
being unbound from the device.

Yes, it is rare, and only able to be done by root, and even then is
something that many drivers fail at.  But for new ones, when we notice
it, it should be fixed up before merging just to prevent any future
problems.

The kernel stack is already secret, this should not be an issue.  And
even then, you can always erase it before the call returns to ensure
that it does not stick around, like many crypto functions do.
