Deletion of subdevice will remove device properties associated to parent
when they share the same firmware node after commit 478573c93a (driver
core: Don't leak secondary fwnode on device removal). This was observed
with a driver adding subdevice that driver wasn't able to read device
properties after rmmod/modprobe cycle.
Consider the lifecycle of it:
parent device registration
ACPI_COMPANION_SET()
device_add_properties()
pset_copy_set()
set_secondary_fwnode(dev, &p->fwnode)
device_add()
parent probe
read device properties
ACPI_COMPANION_SET(subdevice, ACPI_COMPANION(parent))
device_add(subdevice)
parent remove
device_del(subdevice)
device_remove_properties()
set_secondary_fwnode(dev, NULL);
pset_free()
Parent device will have its primary firmware node pointing to an ACPI
node and secondary firmware node point to device properties.
ACPI_COMPANION_SET() call in parent probe will set the subdevice's
firmware node to point to the same 'struct fwnode_handle' and the
associated secondary firmware node, i.e. the device properties as the
parent.
When subdevice is deleted in parent remove that will remove those
device properties and attempt to read device properties in next
parent probe call will fail.
Fix this by tracking the owner device of device properties and delete
them only when owner device is being deleted.
