[PATCH] cleanup of the drm sysfs code.

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

Hi,

Kay pointed out today that the drm code creates a "dev" file in sysfs,
yet doesn't tell the driver core about it.  Normally this would be just
fine, as you are exporting the value in the proper style, but now there
are programs that are only watching the hotplug/uevent netlink messages
and not reading directly from sysfs to get this kind of information.
The patch below is a cleanup of the drm sysfs code, as much of the same
functionality that you want is already present in the driver core, so it
is not good to duplicate it.

Big benifit of this patch is it deletes a lot of unneeded code :)

I've tested this patch out on my one laptop that uses drm, and it seems
to work just fine.

If you want, I can forward this on to Linus in my driver tree, or feel
free to do it yourself.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: DRM: fix up classdev interface for drm core

Current drm code doesn't work with userspace programs that listen only
to the kernel event netlink socket as it is trying to create its own dev
interface.  Turns out lots of code can just be deleted as the driver
core can do all of this work automatically for you.
