Well, that's not me who introduced that ;)
Consider it addressed to those responsible.
Also, avoid creating card* instance. It makes no sense in that case.
Well, the 'new' entries don't interfere with old-- and we inevitably
are going to end up with a situation where some software can only read
the 'new' entries and some software can only read the 'old', otherwise
why offer compatability at all? I interpreted the
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option to mean 'also offer the deprecated
entries in addition to the new structure', otherwise the name should
be CONFIG_SYSFS_OLDSTYLE or some such to imply they're mutually
exclusive....
(So... what's wrong with my patch?)
As it turns out, nothing (I made some error somewhere initially when
testing it).
Apologies if I wasn't clear.
(Well, it's incomplete like my original patch was in that it only
changed the device symlinks for controlX and pcmX; the other entries
still had device entries pointing at card*).
