Subject: [PATCH] driver core: Don't remove kobjects in device_shutdown.
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:50:28 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1ws2636ob.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (raw)


device_shutdown is defined to just shutdown the hardware and to not
clean up any kernel data structures.  Therefore don't put the kobjects
for /sys/dev and /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char.

This ensures we don't remove /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char while
we still have symlinks from there to the actual devices.
