Subject: driver creating directories under a device entry
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:27:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090113232734.GS12431@fluff.org.uk> (raw)

I have a driver which uses sysfs_create_dir() to create a set of
directories under the device sysfs directory to bundle up attributes
that are added common for each sub-part of the device.

Firstly, is this considered a problem

Secondly, sysfs_create_dir() is not exported so the driver cannot
currently be built as a module. Would a patch to export sysfs_create_dir
be acceptable?
