From 18ef545e47c126abd87c013b762b5fbb574858ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 02:50:28 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Driver core: Don't remove kobjects in device_shutdown. device_shutdown is defined to just shutdown the hardware and to not clean up any kernel data structures. Therefore don't put the kobjects for /sys/dev and /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char. This ensures we don't remove /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char while we still have symlinks from there to the actual devices. Acked-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Eric W.
