Subject: [PATCH mm] sysfs: add /sys/dev/usb to handle CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS=y
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:11:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1208484663.12570.5.camel@dwillia2-linux.ch.intel.com> (raw)

The deprecated config option CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS causes class devices
with duplicate major:minor numbers to be registered.  In effect they
represent a usb specific address space for major:minor numbers so add 'usb'
as a directory along side 'block' and 'char'.

This boots up without warning on my dev system.  We end up with the
following situation:

$ ls -l /sys/dev/usb/189:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-04-17 12:00 /sys/dev/usb/189:0 -> ../../class/usb_device/usbdev1.1
$ ls -l /sys/dev/char/189:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-04-17 12:01 /sys/dev/char/189:0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1
