4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx> commit 46edb8d1322c1763dd04e179992f8e9996085047 upstream. The device/driver model clearly mandates that bus driver that discover and allocate the device must set the release callback. This callback will be used to free the device after all references have gone away. scmi bus driver is missing the obvious callback which will result in the following warning if the device is unregistered: Device 'scmi_dev.1' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/kobject.txt.

We have everything required for device release already in scmi_device_destroy, so we just need to move freeing of the device to scmi_device_release.
