From: Johan Hovold <johan+linaro@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e0e7089bf9a87bc5e3997422e4e24563424f9018 upstream. The interconnect framework currently expects that providers are only removed when there are no users and after all nodes have been removed. There is currently nothing that guarantees this to be the case and the framework does not do any reference counting, but refusing to remove the provider is never correct as that would leave a dangling pointer to a resource that is about to be released in the global provider list (e.g. accessible through debugfs). Replace the current sanity checks with WARN_ON() so that the provider is always removed.
