Hello All: I searched 'arch/*' and 'drivers/*' sub-directory, all of them are 'obey this rule', even in device_unregister() itself, it also firstly calls device_remove_file(), then call kobject_del().
But after read the related code (fs/sysfs/*, drivers/base/core.c), it seems kobject_del() -> sysfs_remove_dir() which will release all related things (can instead of device_remove_file()). So in fact, we need not call device_remove_file() before call device_unregister(), is it correct ? Welcome any member to give a suggestion or completion about it, thanks.
