[PATCH 02/46] driver core: fix namespace issue with devices assigned to classes

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Apr 27 2007 - 14:56:59 EST


From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx>

- uses a kset in "struct class" to keep track of all directories
belonging to this class
- merges with the /sys/devices/virtual logic.
- removes the namespace-dir if the last member of that class
leaves the directory.

There may be locking or refcounting fixes left, I stopped when it seemed
to work with network and sound modules. :)
