Subject: revert "driver core: do not wait unnecessarily in driver_unregister()"
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Greg says "please revert this patch. It merely papers over the fact that
there is a reference count still around that never gets released. Kay's patch
that Andrew just forwarded to you fixes the real problem, which other people
had noticed and this patch does not fix."
