Subject: [PATCH] device-dax: don't set kobj parent during cdev init
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2017 12:19:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1486754370-3057-1-git-send-email-logang@deltatee.com> (raw)

I copied this code and per feedback from Greg Kroah-Hartman [1] the
cdev's kobject's parent should not be set to the related device.
This should have minor consequences but isn't doing what anyone
expects it to.

This patch then fixes device-dax so it doesn't make the same mistake.
