SubjectRe: [PATCH] driver core: Make sure device detached from driver before deleting it
Hi Rafael,

Thanks for your reply.

uh, right, didn't notice that, it indeed to be a ordering issue...

it turns out in device_del() we are calling device_links_purge() before
bus_remove_device()...

my board has these devices:
spi master device->spi child device->spi based pwm->pwm_bl

and i add a device link to the pwm and pwm_bl, and got a warning about
the pwm not unbound:

static void device_links_purge(struct device *dev)
{
...
list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(link, ln,
&dev->links.consumers, s_node) {
WARN_ON(link->status != DL_STATE_DORMANT &&
link->status != DL_STATE_NONE); <-- warning here!
__device_link_del(link);
}


and i was confused by:
static void mac80211_hwsim_del_radio(struct mac80211_hwsim_data *data,
const char *hwname,
struct genl_info *info)
{
...
device_release_driver(data->dev);
device_unregister(data->dev);

and adding that device_release_driver hide that issue(oops...)


so we should move device_links_purge() after bus_remove_device() in
device_del() right? maybe after device_remove_properties(), and that did
solve the issue :)
