From: Alan Stern This patch (as960) removes the error message and stack dump logged by sysfs_remove_bin_file() when someone tries to remove a nonexistent file. The warning doesn't seem to be needed, since none of the other file-, symlink-, or directory-removal routines in sysfs complain in a comparable way.
