  driver core: fix smatch warning on dev->bus check (2016-10-31 09:15:22 -0600)

driver core fixes for 4.9-rc5

Here are two driver core fixes for 4.9-rc5.

The first resolves an issue with some drivers not liking to be unbound
and bound again (if CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE is enabled), which
solves some reported problems with graphics and storage drivers.  The
other resolves a smatch error with the 4.9-rc1 driver core changes
around this feature.

Both have been in linux-next with no reported issues.
