Heikki Krogerus b622b24519 software node: Allow node addition to already existing device
If the node is added to an already exiting device, the node
needs to be also linked to the device separately.

This will make sure the reference count is kept in balance
also when the node is injected to a device afterwards.

Fixes: e68d0119e3 ("software node: Introduce device_add_software_node()")

README

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.
