[PATCH] driver core: Add the ability to unbind drivers to devices from userspace
This adds a single file, "unbind", to the sysfs directory of every device that is currently bound to a driver. To unbind the driver from the device, write anything to this file and they will be disconnected from each other. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
