From 82f0cf9b7c42684c29189ddb6d0bc86eb1137fc4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Simmons Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 17:44:51 +0000 Subject: Driver core: fix error by cleanup up symlinks properly When a device fails to register the class symlinks where not cleaned up. This left a symlink in the /sys/class/"device"/ directory that pointed to no where. This caused the sysfs_follow_link Oops I reported earlier. This patch cleanups up the symlink. Please apply. Thank you.
