Driver core: Don't remove kobjects in device_shutdown.
device_shutdown is defined to just shutdown the hardware and to not clean up any kernel data structures. Therefore don't put the kobjects for /sys/dev and /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char. This ensures we don't remove /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char while we still have symlinks from there to the actual devices. Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
