Some SSAM devices, notably the keyboard cover (keyboard and touchpad) on the Surface Pro 8, can be hot-removed. When this occurs, communication with the device may fail and time out. This timeout can unnecessarily block and slow down device removal and even cause issues when the devices are detached and re-attached quickly. Thus, communication should generally be avoided once hot-removal is detected. While we already remove a device as soon as we detect its (hot-)removal, the corresponding device driver may still attempt to communicate with the device during teardown. This is especially critical as communication failure may also extend to disabling of events, which is typically done at that stage. Add a flag to allow marking devices as hot-removed. This can then be used during client driver teardown to check if any communication attempts should be avoided.

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.
