Hi Greg,
> Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add
> auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir().
> kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the
> previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new
> interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further

has this one been tested? I don't get it working. I always get an EINVAL
when trying to move the TTY device of a Bluetooth RFCOMM link around.
And shouldn't device_move(dev, NULL) re-attach it to the virtual device
tree instead of failing?
Regards
Marcel
