If you wanted what I could do is pull the set_dev_node call from nvdimm_bus_uevent and place it in nd_device_register. That should stick as the node doesn't get overwritten by the parent if it is set after device_initialize. If I did that along with the parent bit I was already doing then all that would be left to do in is just use the dev_to_node call on the device itself. _______________________________________________ Linux-nvdimm mailing list Linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-nvdimm
