Subject: [PATCH V3 2/3] driver core: Add ability to delete device links of unregistered devices
Date:   Sat, 10 Jul 2021 13:38:18 +0300
Message-Id: <20210710103819.12532-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com>

Precedence: bulk

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 discover 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).

Amend device link removal to accept removal of a link with an
unregistered consumer device.
