4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jeffy Chen <jeffy.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2ec16150179888b81717d1d3ce84e634f4736af2 upstream. The current ordering of code in device_del() triggers a WARN_ON() in device_links_purge(), because of an unexpected link status. The device_links_unbind_consumers() call in device_release_driver() has to take place before device_links_purge() for the status of all links to be correct, so move the device_links_purge() call in device_del() after the invocation of bus_remove_device() which calls device_release_driver().
