[ Upstream commit0152dfee23] When mvpp2 is unloaded, the driver specific debugfs directory is not removed, which technically leads to a memory leak. However, this directory is only created when the first device is probed, so the hardware is present. Removing the module is only something a developer would to when e.g. testing out changes, so the module would be reloaded. So this memory leak is minor. The original attempt in commitfe2c9c61f6("net: mvpp2: debugfs: fix memory leak when using debugfs_lookup()") that was labelled as a memory leak fix was not, it fixed a refcount leak, but in doing so created a problem when the module is reloaded - the directory already exists, but mvpp2_root is NULL, so we lose all debugfs entries. This fix has been reverted. This is the alternative fix, where we remove the offending directory whenever the driver is unloaded.

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 Restructured Text 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.
