We are allowing detaching when the bus is cleaned up and on re-attaching.

In case the bus is cleaned up, all the devices on the bus are detached.

On re-attaching, I considered that will happen as a result of a previously 
detach operation which will free a slot, but looking again at the code, all the 
detach and re-attach logic are under different conditions. I will re-consider 
and update it accordingly.

Thank you,
