[PATCH v2] ACPI / button: remove pointer to old lid_sysfs on unbind

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Fri Jul 29 2016 - 11:08:53 EST


When we removed the procfs dir on error or if the driver is
unbound, the two variables acpi_lid_dir and acpi_button_dir
were not reset. On the next rebind, those static variables
were not null and we couldn't re-register the device again.
