2008-01-25PCMCIA: use proper call to driver_create_fileGreg Kroah-Hartman1-2/+1
Don't try to call the "raw" sysfs_create_file when we already have a helper function to do this kind of work for us. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-01-25driver core: remove fields from struct bus_typeGreg Kroah-Hartman7-70/+104
struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access. Thanks to Kay for the build fixes on this patch. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-25driver core: add way to get to bus device klistGreg Kroah-Hartman3-4/+14
This allows an easier way to get to the device klist associated with a struct bus_type (you have three to choose from...) This will make it easier to move these fields to be dynamic in a future patch. The only user of this is the PCI core which horribly abuses this interface to rearrange the order of the pci devices. This should be done using the existing bus device walking functions, but that's left for future patches. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-01-25driver core: remove owner field from struct bus_typeGreg Kroah-Hartman1-1/+0
This isn't used by anything in the driver core, and by no one in the 204 different usages of it in the kernel tree. Remove this field so no one gets any idea that it is needed to be used. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-01-25Kobject: the cris iop_fw_load.c code is brokenGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+11
This code is really really really broken. So much so that it's almost impossible to fix with a simple patch, so just comment out the offending registration with the kobject core, and mark the driver as broken. The problem is that the code is trying to register a "raw" struct device, which is not allowed. struct device is only for use within the driver model. This is being done to try to use the firmware layer which wants a struct device. To properly fix this, use something easy, like a platform device, which is a struct device and can be used for this kind of thing.
