The function software_node_notify() - the function that creates
and removes the symlinks between the node and the device - was
called unconditionally in device_add_software_node() and
device_remove_software_node(), but it needs to be called in
those functions only in the special case where the node is
added to a device that has already been registered.
This fixes NULL pointer dereference that happens if
device_remove_software_node() is used with device that was
never registered.
Fixes: b622b24519 ("software node: Allow node addition to already existing device")

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.
