[patch 04/28] Driver core: make parent class define subsystem

[Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>]

Driver core: make parent class define subsystem for its children

When there is a hierarchy of classes make parent class define
subsystem as reported in hotplug notifications. The full class
path is reported in a new CLASS environment variable.
