Subject: [GIT PATCH] another driver core patch for .35
Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 15:15:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100525221546.GA29511@kroah.com> (raw)
Here's one more driver core patch for the .35 merge window.
It provides the ability for module-init-tools to know which modules to
load when a user asks for a device node that is not present in the
system yet by exporting the information in the modules.
It also moves some misc devices from a dynamic number to a static one as
they are getting popular on a lot of systems.
Please pull from:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/
This patch has been in the linux-next and mm trees.
The patch will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see, but it's already been sent there a number of times, so it's
nothing new.
thanks,
greg k-h
