[PATCH] Blackfin: cplbinfo: drop d_path() hacks

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Wed Sep 23 2009 - 01:00:15 EST


The cplbinfo was using d_path() to figure out which cpu/cplb was being
parsed. As Al pointed out, this isn't exactly reliable as it assumes the
static VFS path to be unchanged, and it's just poor form. So use the
proc_create_data() to properly (and internally) pass the exact cpu/cplb
requested to the parser function.

just a heads up -- here's what i ended up going with. thanks for the tips.
