Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Couple of sysfs patches
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 02:21:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200406090221.24739.dtor_core@ameritech.net> (raw)
Hi,
I am trying to add sysfs support to the serio subsystem and I would like you
to consider the following changes:
- when registering platform device, if device id is set to -1, do not add it
as a suffix to device's name. It can be used when there is only one device.
The reason for change - i find that i80420 looks ugly, just i8042 is much
better ;)
- create platform_device_simple_releasse function that would just free memory
occupied by platform device. Having such release routine in core allows
drivers implementing simple platform devices not wait in module unload code
till last reference to the device is dropped.
And of course whitespace changes ;) in the very first patch.
Please consider applying.
