Questions about drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c

[冯锐]

Hi Jones,

I have a question about drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c and need your help.
The driver in drivers/misc/cardreader/rtsx_pcr.c call 'mfd_add_devices' and 'mfd_remove_devices' in probe and remove functions
Before Linus 5.9-rc1, the two functions can run properly, but in Linus 5.9-rc1 when I unplug the cardreader 'mfd_remove_devices' will lead to a kernel bug like below:

After I revert the commit 466a62d7642f02f36d37d9b30c19a725538a01ca(https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1255106), 'mfd_remove_devices' will run without bug,
Do I use 'mfd_add_devices' and 'mfd_remove_devices' incorrectly or possible bug in drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c? I don't know what's wrong, so I need your help.
If you need more information please let me know.

Thanks

Rui Feng
