Subject: [PATCH] input: fix EVIOCGNAME regression
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 18:39:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1247503151-15615-1-git-send-email-daniel@caiaq.de> (raw)
Commit 3d5cb60e ("Input: simplify name handling for certain input
handles") introduced a regression for the EVIOCGNAME ioctl.
Before this, patch, the platform device's name was given back to
userspace which was good to identify devices. After this patch, the
device was ("event%d", minor) which is not descriptive at all.
This fixes the behaviour by taking input_dev->name.
