Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 12/13] memory-hotplug : add node_device_release

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2012 19:34:46 +0900

When calling unregister_node(), the function shows following message at
device_release().

Device 'node2' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be
fixed.

So the patch implements node_device_release()
