mainlining shenanigans
bf25967ac5
Managed device links are deleted by device_del(). However it is possible to
add a device link to a consumer before device_add(), and then discovering
an error prevents the device from being used. In that case normally
references to the device would be dropped and the device would be deleted.
However the device link holds a reference to the device, so the device link
and device remain indefinitely (unless the supplier is deleted).
For UFSHCD, if a LUN fails to probe (e.g. absent BOOT WLUN), the device
will not have been registered but can still have a device link holding a
reference to the device. The unwanted device link will prevent runtime
suspend indefinitely.
Amend device link removal to accept removal of a link with an unregistered
consumer device (suggested by Rafael), and fix UFSHCD by explicitly
deleting the device link when SCSI destroys the SCSI device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
