Subject: [GIT PATCH] driver core patch against 2.6.26-rc4
Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 21:15:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080530041528.GA13743@suse.de> (raw)

Here is a single patch against your 2.6.26-git tree.

It was suggested by Stephen, as it will help with the linux-next merge
issues starting to happen as this api changes in anticipation for
2.6.27.  This patch merges a functional version of the dev_set_name()
function for other trees to be able to take adnd merge in changes that
help with the progression toward getting rid of the bus_id field and the
limitation of 20 characters for the name of struct device.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/

The patch will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h
