Subject: Vendor info from device name
Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 17:16:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A04CB41.3040008@ascenium.com> (raw)

Hi Folks,

I am inside a file system driver, a modified version of vfat to be 
exact, trying to get vendor info that uniquely identifies a USB storage 
device that's associated.  I have the device name coming into 
vfat_get_sb().  I looked down through the associated structures I get 
here but nothing obvious pops out.  What's the best way to get down to 
the vendor/unique device info from here?  Thanks in advance for your 
help and apologies in advance if this is a dumb question.

Regards,

-- Robert.
