Do you mean user removes bridge device to remove its *primary*
bus? It is very strange. I think the bus should be removed
when its parent bridge is removed.

I think we don't need the two lines. But if you do that, you
need list_empty(&pdev->bus->devices), doesn't it? On the other
hand, we must not check 'bridge' in the if statement. Or bus
will never be removed when non-bridge device is removed last
on the bus.
Again, I think we don't need the two lines. But am I
misunderstanding something?
