Driver core: rename ktype_driver

2007-10-12T21:51:12+00:00

This makes it a bit more sane when trying to figure out how to clean up
the ktype mess.

Based on a larger patch from Kay Sievers

Driver core: remove get_bus()

2007-10-12T21:51:02+00:00

get_bus() should not be globally visable as it is not used by anything
other than drivers/base/bus.c.  This patch removes the visability of it,
and renames it to match all of the other *_get() functions in the
kernel.

other than drivers/base/bus.c.  This patch removes the visability of it,

Driver core: remove subsys_get()

2007-10-12T21:51:01+00:00

There are no more subsystems, it's a kset now so remove the function and
the only two users, which are in the driver core.

Driver core: remove subsys_set_kset

2007-10-12T21:51:01+00:00

This macro is only used by the driver core and is held over from when we
had subsystems.  It is not needed anymore.

Driver core: make sysfs uevent-attributes static

2007-10-12T21:50:59+00:00

Attributes do not have an owner(module) anymore, so there is no need
to carry the attributes in every single bus instance.

sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner

2007-07-11T23:09:06+00:00

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

(tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to
merge things properly.)

Driver core: coding style cleanup

2007-07-11T23:09:02+00:00

This converts code of the form

	if ((error = some_func()))
		goto fixup;
to
	error = some_func();
	if (error)
		goto fixup;
