The upcoming region provisioning implementation has a need to dereference port->uport during the port unregister flow. Specifically, endpoint decoders need to be able to lookup their corresponding memdev via port->uport. The existing ->dead flag was added for cases where the core was committed to tearing down the port, but needed to drop locks before calling device_unregister(). Reuse that flag to indicate to delete_endpoint() that it has no "release action" work to do as unregister_port() will handle it.

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.
