Subject: [PATCH] Make kobject's name be const char *
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2005 15:59:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11193083603640@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11193083603818@kroah.com>
[PATCH] Make kobject's name be const char *
kobject: make kobject's name const char * since users should not
attempt to change it (except by calling kobject_rename).
