Now that the internal DFL APIs have been converted to consume DFL enumeration info from a separate structure, dfl_feature_dev_data, which lifetime is independent of the feature device, proceed to completely destroy and recreate the feature platform device on port release and assign, respectively. This resolves a longstanding issue in the use of platform_device_add(), which states to "not call this routine more than once for any device structure" and which used to print a kernel warning. The function feature_dev_unregister() resets the device pointer in the feature data to NULL to signal that the feature platform device has been destroyed. This substitutes the previous device_is_registered() checks.

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 reStructuredText 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.
