Loading the microcode driver on an unsupported CPU and subsequently unloading the driver causes WARNING: at fs/sysfs/group.c:138 mc_device_remove+0x5f/0x70 [microcode]() Hardware name: 01972NG sysfs group ffffffffa00013d0 not found for kobject 'cpu0' Modules linked in: snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_conexant snd_hda_intel btusb snd_hda_codec bluetooth thinkpad_acpi rfkill microcode(-) [last unloaded: cfg80211] Pid: 4560, comm: modprobe Not tainted 3.4.0-rc2-00002-g258f7426 #5 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8103113b>] ? warn_slowpath_common+0x7b/0xc0 [<ffffffff81031235>] ? warn_slowpath_fmt+0x45/0x50 [<ffffffff81120e74>] ? sysfs_remove_group+0x34/0x120 [<ffffffffa00000ef>] ? mc_device_remove+0x5f/0x70 [microcode] [<ffffffff81331eb9>] ? subsys_interface_unregister+0x69/0xa0 [<ffffffff81563526>] ? mutex_lock+0x16/0x40 [<ffffffffa0000c3e>] ? microcode_exit+0x50/0x92 [microcode] [<ffffffff8107051d>] ? sys_delete_module+0x16d/0x260 [<ffffffff810a0065>] ? wait_iff_congested+0x45/0x110 [<ffffffff815656af>] ? page_fault+0x1f/0x30 [<ffffffff81565ba2>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b on recent kernels. This is due to commit 8a25a2fd ("cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem") which renders commit 6c53cbfc ("x86, microcode: Correct sysdev_add error path") useless. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133416246406478 Avoid above warning by restoring the old driver behaviour before 6c53cbfc ("x86, microcode: Correct sysdev_add error path").
