[PATCH 3/3] sysfs: remove BUG_ON() from sysfs_remove_group()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 07 2008 - 15:11:28 EST
It's possible that the caller of sysfs_remove_group messed up and passed in an attribute group that was not really registered to this kobject. But don't panic for such a foolish error, spit out a warning about what happened, and continue on our way safely.
