What if parent does not have a driver set to it yet? Why would a device's parent module control the lifespan of this child device's cdev? This feels wrong and like a layering violation here. If a parent's module is unloaded, then invalidate the cdev for the device when you tear it down before the module is unloaded. Yes, the interaction between the driver model and a cdev is messy, and always tricky (see the recent ksummit discussion about this again, and last year's discussion), but that does not mean you should add laying violations like this to the codebase. Please fix this properly. thanks, greg k-h

Have used try_module_get(uacce->parent->driver->owner) in open, and module_put in release.

Please fix this properly. Thanks Greg Yes, I was in hesitation whether adding the patch 1, but it looks very simple. In fact, the patch 2 can cover both removing device and rmmod parent driver module. We can just keep patch 2. Thanks
