After commit bcdde7e221a8 (sysfs: make __sysfs_remove_dir() recursive)
Mika Westerberg sees traces analogous to the one below in Thunderbolt
hot-remove testing:

The source of this problem is that SCSI hosts are removed from
ATA ports after calling ata_tport_delete() which removes the
port's sysfs directory, among other things. Now, after commit
bcdde7e221a8, the sysfs directory is removed along with all of
its subdirectories that include the SCSI host's sysfs directory
and its subdirectories at this point. Consequently, when
device_del() is finally called for any child device of the SCSI
host and tries to remove its "power" group (which is already
gone then), it triggers the above warning.

To make the warnings go away, change the removal ordering in
ata_port_detach() so that the SCSI host is removed from the
port before ata_tport_delete() is called.

Hi,

This along with https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3226081/ makes
all of the warnings observed by Mika go away without the patch at
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3201841/ applied.

Thanks,
Rafael
