From foo@baz Tue Apr 9 12:12:43 2002 Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 09:39:19 -0700 To: Greg KH From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Subject: Driver core: add ability for devices to create and remove bin files Makes it easier for devices to create and remove binary attribute files so they don't have to call directly into sysfs. This is needed to help with the conversion from struct class_device to struct device.
