    Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path · 74e9f5fa
    Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
    The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
    the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
    count of attributes.  It is not needed at all and can be removed.
    
    Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
    This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
    system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
    future.  But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
    counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
    reference counted properly in order to work correctly.
