Subject: [PATCH 4/8] driver core: remove device_create_vargs
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 18:54:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200416165453.1080463-5-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200416165453.1080463-1-hch@lst.de>
All external users of device_create_vargs are gone, so remove it and
open code it in the only caller.

- * This function can be used by char device classes. A struct device

- * A "dev" file will be created, showing the dev_t for the device, if

- * If a pointer to a parent struct device is passed in, the newly created
- * struct device will be a child of that device in sysfs.
- * The pointer to the struct device will be returned from the call.
- * Any further sysfs files that might be required can be created using this
- * pointer.
- *
- * Returns &struct device pointer on success, or ERR_PTR() on error.
- *
- * Note: the struct class passed to this function must have previously
- * been created with a call to class_create().
