When the test 'CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y' is enabled,
arch_initcall(pl011_init) came before subsys_initcall(default_bdi_init).
devtmpfs gets killed because we try to remove a file and decrement the
wb reference count before the noop_backing_device_info gets initialized.

Rework to set suppress_bind_attrs flag to avoid removing the device when
CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y. This applies for pic32_uart and
xilinx_uartps as well.

When enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE devtmpfs gets killed
because we try to remove a file and decrement the wb reference count
before the noop_backing_device_info gets initialized.

Since arch_initcall(pl011_init) came before
subsys_initcall(default_bdi_init), devtmpfs' handle_remove() crashes
because the reference count is a NULL pointer only because bdi->wb
hasn't been initialized yet.

Rework so that wb_put have an extra check if wb->bdi before decrement
wb->refcnt and also add a WARN_ON to get a warning if it happens again
in other drivers.

Is this changelog correct?  What does drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c
have to do with page writeback?  Confused.

Seems that there is indeed some form of linkage.  Can this be spelled
out more in the changelog please?

Signed-off-by: Arnd, please.

The !WARN_ON(!expr) isn't very easy to follow.   This:

{
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!wb->bdi)) {
		/*
		 * Nice comment explaining how this situation comes about
		 */
		return;
	}

	if (wb != &wb->bdi->wb)
		percpu_ref_put(&wb->refcnt);
}

is better, no?

Also, please note the s/WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE/.  I don't think we gain
anything from reporting the same thing many times?

I'm just interested to know, why?

So that Arnd certifies that

        (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
            have the right to submit it under the open source license
            indicated in the file; or

and all the other stuff in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
section 11!

Also, because section 12 says so :)  And that final sentence is, I
believe, appropriate.

Ah, interesting.  I see that the documentation was updated since I was 
told last year in the same situation by a different maintainer that 
co-authors should not have SOB lines on the patch.

Good to know.  Thanks for illuminating me.
