Driver core: keep PHYSDEV for old struct class_device

2007-06-08T19:41:07+00:00

Class-devices created by "struct class_device" are going to be replaced by "struct device". Keep the deprecated PHYSDEV* variables for the already "deprecated" struct class_device" devices. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed

2007-05-03T01:57:59+00:00

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this, especially as it is not really needed at all. Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: fix namespace issue with devices assigned to classes

2007-04-27T17:57:28+00:00

- uses a kset in "struct class" to keep track of all directories belonging to this class - merges with the /sys/devices/virtual logic. - removes the namespace-dir if the last member of that class leaves the directory. There may be locking or refcounting fixes left, I stopped when it seemed to work with network and sound modules. :) From: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: remove class_device_rename

2007-02-23T22:52:08+00:00

No one uses it, and it wasn't exported to modules, so remove it. The only other user of it was the network code, which is now converted to use struct device instead. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: delete virtual directory on class_unregister()

2006-12-13T23:38:45+00:00

Driver Core: Move virtual_device_parent() to core.c

2006-12-01T22:51:58+00:00

It doesn't need to be global or in device.h Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
