Subject: [PATCH] driver core: remove incorrect comment for device_create*
Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2023 19:10:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2023040108-rust-railway-d20d@gregkh> (raw)
The device_create() and device_create_with_groups() function comments
incorrectly state that they only work with a struct class that was
created using class_create(), but that is not true now and I am not sure
if it ever was. So just remove the comment as it's not needed now.
