Kobject: convert drivers/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

2008-01-25T04:40:40+00:00

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's
kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with
kobject_put().

Kobject: change drivers/firmware/efivars.c to use kobject_init_and_add

2008-01-25T04:40:27+00:00

Stop using kobject_register, as this way we can control the sending of
the uevent properly, after everything is properly initialized.

kobject: convert efivars to use kobject_create

2008-01-25T04:40:25+00:00

Using a kset for this simple directory is an overkill.

firmware: change firmware_kset to firmware_kobj

2008-01-25T04:40:23+00:00

There is no firmware "subsystem" it's just a directory in /sys that
other portions of the kernel want to hook into.  So make it a kobject
not a kset to help alivate anyone who tries to do some odd kset-like
things with this.

kset: convert efivars to use kset_create for the vars sub-subsystem.

2008-01-25T04:40:19+00:00

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.

kobject: convert efivars to kobj_attr interface

2008-01-25T04:40:19+00:00

This cleans up a lot of code and gets rid of a unneeded macro, and gets
us one step closer to deleting the deprecated subsys_attr code.

efivars: make new_var and del_var binary sysfs files

2008-01-25T04:40:19+00:00

These files should not be "normal" sysfs files as they really are binary
ones.  This patch makes them binary files and saves code in doing so.

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset

2008-01-25T04:40:10+00:00

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Driver core: rename ktype_edd and ktype_efivar

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.
