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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
