    Thanks a lot, I just haven't seen the stuff got broken with 3.7 as I
    haven't played much with RTCs before (just used them). So I didn't
    looked at the git history and fixed it myself just to find out Lothar
    already had send a patch. ;)

    And for the symmetrie between register/unregister (moving
    ida_simple_remove() from release() to unregister()) I'm not exactly sure
    if that wouldn't break something. Also it looks like anything which
    still would use the ID will fail after unregister (because unregister
    cleans up a lot), I'm not quite sure. So just reverting it looks like a
    save bet.

    Regards,

    Alexander
