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 ------------ drivers/base/core.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ include/linux/device.h | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) --------------- Stephen Rothwell (1): driver-core: prepare for 2.6.27 api change by adding dev_set_name
