I can't say I agree with you here.  The previous split of teardown and
teardown_ made it possible to do what was done for the topology tests
(using a minimalist teardown to cleanup the device).  I made use of the
previous teardown split to add more functionality; no different than how
any code evolves.  Once code evolves we cannot just break that new
functionality when making new changes.

So I'd like to restore the topology test with the minimalist amount of
change.  Once it is back to working I can look at your suggestion of how
to change prepare_scsi_debug_dev, etc.

I'll rename teardown_

Thanks,
