Really? This is one sign that you are totally using the driver core
incorrectly. You shouldn't have to rely on notifier callbacks to handle
device removals, your bus code should do that for you directly.
I don't like this at all, sorry.
And I was waiting for the day when people started to finally remove
platform devices from the system, I always thought it would never work
properly. Good luck with this, I think you have a lot of work ahead of
yourself...
