The issue is that the device and its "managed" device link do not then get deleted. The device because the device link has a reference to it. The device link because it can only be deleted by device_del(), but device_add() was never called, so device_del() never will be either. Since V2, these patches fix the issue by amending device link removal to accept removal of a link with an unregistered consumer device, as suggested by Rafael. Changes in V3: driver core: Prevent warning when removing a device link from unregistered consumer New patch split from "driver core: Add ability to delete device links of unregistered devices" except first chunk from that patch dropped as unnecessary driver core: Add ability to delete device links of unregistered devices Move warning fix to separate patch. Changes in V2: Take approach suggested by Rafael Adrian Hunter (3): driver core: Prevent warning when removing a device link from unregistered consumer driver core: Add ability to delete device links of unregistered devices scsi: ufshcd: Fix device links when BOOT WLUN fails to probe drivers/base/core.c | 8 ++++++-- drivers/scsi/ufs/ufshcd.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) Regards Adrian
