The Oops happens because the I2C client data does not point to

max9286_priv anymore but to v4l2_subdev. The change happened in

max9286_init() which calls v4l2_i2c_subdev_init() later on...

Besides fixing the max9286_remove() function, remove the call to

i2c_set_clientdata() in max9286_probe(), to avoid confusion, and make

the necessary changes to max9286_init() so that it doesn't have to use

i2c_get_clientdata() in order to fetch the pointer to priv.
