Hi, Yicong,

I am confused when adding a notifier by bus_register_notifier(). If I have added a action to
pdev->dev to unregister pmu:

		ret = perf_pmu_register(&pcie_pmu->pmu, name, -1);
		if (ret) {
			pci_err(pcie_pmu->pdev,
				"Error %d registering PMU @%x\n", ret, bdf);
			goto out;
		}
		ret = devm_add_action_or_reset(
			&pdev->dev, dwc_pcie_pmu_unregister_pmu, &pcie_pmu->pmu);

the pmu will be unregister when the port removes, so accessing the NULL pointer will never happen,
right? Do we still need the bus_register_notifier()?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Shuai
