Subject: [PATCH] use .devfs_name in struct miscdevice
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2003 17:33:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030430173315.A4057@lst.de> (raw)

There's three drivers in the tree that workaround the suboptimal
devfs name choice of the misc device layer (/dev/misc/<foo>) using
devfs_mk_symlink.    Switch them to set miscdev.devfs_name instead
to get the right name from the very beginning.
