Subject: [PATCH] nubus: switch to dynamic root device
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:40:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424104011.2616970-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

Driver core expects devices to be dynamically allocated and will, for
example, complain loudly if a device that lacks a release function is
ever freed.

Use root_device_register() to allocate and register the root device
instead of open coding using a static device.
