Looks good, thanks.
However... when fixing a bug, please always describe the end-user
visible effects of that bug. Amongst other things this is to help me
and others decide which kernel version(s) need the patch.
I'm assuming that the effect will be, at worst, a memory leak at the
rate of one device_node per hot-unplug event and is hence a very minor
thing?
