From d6bdbbdfb0d45a92407b90209e377bf8c0ed49e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2023 11:33:15 +0200 Subject: driver core: clean up the logic to determine which /sys/dev/ directory to use When a dev_t is set in a struct device, an symlink in /sys/dev/ is created for it either under /sys/dev/block/ or /sys/dev/char/ depending on the device type. The logic to determine this would trigger off of the class of the object, and the kobj_type set in that location. But it turns out that this deep nesting isn't needed at all, as it's either a choice of block or "everything else" which is a char device. So make the logic a lot more simple and obvious, and remove the incorrect comments in the code that tried to document something that was not happening at all (it is impossible to set class->dev_kobj to NULL as the class core prevented that from happening. This removes the only place that class->dev_kobj was being used, so after this, it can be removed entirely. Acked-by: Rafael J.
