[PATCH 1/2] driver core: skip removal test for non-removable drivers

[Rob Herring]

Some drivers do not support removal/unbinding. These drivers should have
drv->suppress_bind_attrs set to true, so use that to skip the removal
test.

This doesn't fix anything reported so far, but should prevent some other
cases. Some drivers will need fixes to set suppress_bind_attrs to avoid
this test.

[PATCH 2/2] driver core: fix smatch warning on dev->bus check

[Rob Herring]

Commit d42a09802174 (driver core: skip removal test for non-removable
drivers) introduced a smatch warning:

drivers/base/dd.c:386 really_probe()
         warn: variable dereferenced before check 'dev->bus' (see line 373)

Fix the warning by removing the dev->bus NULL check. dev->bus will never
be NULL, so the check was unnecessary.
