That proved to be > too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but > before it happened, we had introduced the functions > device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow > drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some > drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary, > it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the > normal device unregistration instead. > > Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
