The ACPI PCI root removal routine, handle_root_bridge_removal(), doesn't do that, which may lead to premature freeing of the device object or to executing put_device() on an object that has been freed already. Fix this problem by making handle_root_bridge_removal() use get_device() as appropriate. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
