Subject: [PATCH 1/2] vdpa_sim_blk: switch to dynamic root device
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:47:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424104703.2619093-2-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424104703.2619093-1-johan@kernel.org>

Driver core expects devices to be dynamically allocated and will, for
example, complain loudly when no release function has been provided.

Use root_device_register() to allocate and register the root device
instead of open coding using a static device.
