[PATCH v1 01/12] powerpc/pseries: CMM: Implement release() function for sysfs device

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Thu Oct 31 2019 - 10:29:57 EST


When unloading the module, one gets
[ 548.188594] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 548.188596] Device 'cmm0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/kobject.txt.
[ 548.188622] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 19308 at drivers/base/core.c:1244 .device_release+0xcc/0xf0
...

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