Can you please add comment explainin why this is being down? As it
currently stands, it's quite a bit of complexity without any
indication what's going on why. Also, if device_hotplug is locked, is
it really necessary to get @dev? Can it go away inbetween? The code
snippet looks weird because getting @dev indicates that the device
might go away without doing it but then it proceeds to invoke
device_{on|off}line() which probably isn't safe to invoke on a removed
device.

Thanks.
