[ Upstream commit 6093e348a5e2475c5bb2e571346460f939998670 ]
device_for_each_child() stops executing callback function for remaining
child devices, if callback hits an error.
Each child mdev device is independent of each other.
While unregistering parent device, mdev core must remove all child mdev
devices.
Therefore, mdev_device_remove_cb() always returns success so that
device_for_each_child doesn't abort if one child removal hits error.
While at it, improve remove and unregister functions for below simplicity.
There isn't need to pass forced flag pointer during mdev parent
removal which invokes mdev_device_remove(). So simplify the flow.
mdev_device_remove() is called from two paths.
1. mdev_unregister_driver()
mdev_device_remove_cb()
mdev_device_remove()
2. remove_store()
mdev_device_remove()

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
