This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled PCI: Drop pci_device_remove() test of pci_dev->driver to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pci-drop-pci_device_remove-test-of-pci_dev-driver.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8038aad5e0fd636363cf3b015970cd85fa1475ef Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 4 14:59:25 2021 +0200 PCI: Drop pci_device_remove() test of pci_dev->driver [ Upstream commit 097d9d414433315122f759ee6c2d8a7417a8ff0f ] When the driver core calls pci_device_remove(), there is a driver bound to the device, so pci_dev->driver is never NULL. Remove the unnecessary test of pci_dev->driver.
