Now, after commit bcdde7e221a8, the sysfs directory is removed along with all of its subdirectories that include the SCSI host's sysfs directory and its subdirectories at this point. Consequently, when device_del() is finally called for any child device of the SCSI host and tries to remove its "power" group (which is already gone then), it triggers the above warning. To make the warnings go away, change the removal ordering in ata_port_detach() so that the SCSI host is removed from the port before ata_tport_delete() is called.
