Subject: [PATCH 4.14 28/91] powerpc/pseries/cmm: Implement release() function for sysfs device

From: David Hildenbrand <david@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 7d8212747435c534c8d564fbef4541a463c976ff ]

When unloading the module, one gets
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  Device 'cmm0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/kobject.txt.
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 19308 at drivers/base/core.c:1244 .device_release+0xcc/0xf0
  ...

We only have one static fake device. There is nothing to do when
releasing the device (via cmm_exit()).
