Subject: [PATCH v2] of: __of_update_property_sysfs only call
 __of_sysfs_remove_bin_file if of_node_is_attached

Hi Rob,

I have used an other hardware to check the patch. I hope it doesn't matter. I added few lines at the untitest.c. All existing unittest use an attached sysfs, therefore the bug isn't detectable.

The patch of the unittest is posted: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/985738/
