Is there any reason for not setting `bus->procdir` to `NULL`
similarly to the previous function?

Is there any reason why the previous two functions return something? It doesn't
seem to be necessary.

I think `sizeof(name)` would be preferable to hard-coding 16.

Here as well.

Please align the continuation properly.

I'm not sure if this should be here. If I'm not mistaken, the code
creates a procfs directory for a bus when it first sees a `pnp_dev` from that bus.
This call removes the whole directory for the bus, and with that, the files of
those `pnp_dev`s which were successfully created earlier.

You could add a check to see if this `proc_mkdir()` call succeeds, and
possibly return early if it does not.

`isapnp_proc_attach_device()` returns 0 on success, so the condition should be inverted.
And maybe `err` or something like that would be a better name than `dev_attach`.

If I'm not mistaken, allocation failures are logged, so this is probably not needed.


> +			isapnp_proc_detach_device(dev);

I'm also not sure if this is needed here. If `isapnp_proc_attach_device()` returns
an error, then `dev->procdir` could not have been "created". In other words,
if the execution reaches this point, `proc_create_data()` could not have succeeded
because either it had not yet been called or it had failed.


> +			return -ENOMEM;

It is usually preferable to return the error code you receive. E.g.:

  err = isapnp_proc_attach_device(...);
  if (err) {
    ...
    return err;
  }
