[PATCH 0/2] New bind/unbingd uevents

[Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>]

Hi Greg,

I am resending the bind/unbind and devm_sysfs_create_group() patches,
as you requested. The new bind/unbind will allow triggering firmware
update through udev, and the new sysfs API will cut down on some
boilerplate code in drivers.

Below is also a patch to systemd to stop dropping the new attributes
(why they think they need to inspect and discard the data they do not
understand is beyond me).

Thanks,
Dmitry

Subject: [PATCH] Add handling for bind/unbind actions

Newer kernels will emit uevents with "bind" and "unbind" actions. These
uevents will be issued when driver is bound to or unbound from a device.
"Bind" events are helpful when device requires a firmware to operate
properly, and driver is unable to create a child device before firmware
is properly loaded.

For some reason systemd validates actions and drops the ones it does not
know, instead of passing them on through as old udev did, so we need to
explicitly teach it about them.
