Subject: [patch 02/13] Driver Core: misc: add nodename support for misc devices.
Date: Sat, 09 May 2009 07:26:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090509143631.755885703@blue.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090509143742.GA27663@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: driver-core-misc-add-nodename-support-for-misc-devices.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3335 bytes --]

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>

This adds support for misc devices to report their requested nodename to
userspace.  It also updates a number of misc drivers to provide the
needed subdirectory and device name to be used for them.
