Re: ide: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ...

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz]

And after more careful inspection....

$ tree /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/
/sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/
|-- block -> ../../../../../block/hda
|-- bus -> ../../../../../bus/ide
|-- driver -> ../../../../../bus/ide/drivers/ide-disk
|-- power
|   |-- state
|   `-- wakeup
`-- uevent

this is with the standard kernel without this patch.

Key, could you please explain what this patch actually *does*
(besides adding MODALIAS support) to such sysfs dummy as me?

Thanks,
Bartlomiej
