The driver core ignores the return code of a remove function and
considers a device unbound unconditionally after .remove() returns. So
don't sleep interruptible while waiting on the mutex, as there is no
sane way to handle an interrupt. Just returning -EINTR as was done up to
now results in leaking resources because the hid driver's remove
callback (or hid_hw_stop()) isn't called.

static ssize_t modalias_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *a,
apart from a whitespace difference and a different commti log this patch
is the same as Dmitry's patch that became commit f2145f8dc566 ("HID: do
not use down_interruptible() when unbinding devices").
So my patch can be disregarded.
Best regards
Uwe
