Subject: sysfs: Allow removal of symlinks in the sysfs root
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a839c5afcdc345aecb35b0d3bcd0e09b571329c3;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

sysfs: Allow removal of symlinks in the sysfs root

Allow callers of sysfs_remove_link() to pass a NULL kobj, in which case
sysfs_root will be used as the parent directory. This allows us to tear down
top level symlinks created via sysfs_create_link(), which already has
similar handling of a NULL parent object.
