Subject: Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e454cea;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions

This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.
