No, that's not correct, acpi_scan_hot_remove(device) will remove the device
from sysfs, if successful, among other things.
We can't emit uevents for a device that has been, even though the data
structure is still around.
The following are the choices we have, in my opinion:
- Emit KOBJ_OFFLINE before removal.
- Emit KOBJ_OFFLINE before removal and KOBJ_ONLINE afterwards if it fails.
- Do not emit KOBJ_OFFLINE at all with autoeject.
Each of them has some disadvantages, so I'm not sure. The last one is the
easiest, so I'll probably send another update implementing it.
Thanks,
