[ Upstream commit cbb79863fc ]
If something has the IPMI driver open, don't allow the device
module to be unloaded. Before it would unload and the user would
get errors on use.
This change is made on user request, and it makes it consistent
with the I2C driver, which has the same behavior.
It does change things a little bit with respect to kernel users.
If the ACPI or IPMI watchdog (or any other kernel user) has
created a user, then the device module cannot be unloaded. Before
it could be unloaded,
This does not affect hot-plug. If the device goes away (it's on
something removable that is removed or is hot-removed via sysfs)
then it still behaves as it did before.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
