From c205ef4880273d2de4ee5388d4e52227ff688cc4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 22:19:37 -0700 Subject: Driver core: create devices/virtual/ tree This change creates a devices/virtual/CLASS_NAME tree for struct devices that belong to a class, yet do not have a "real" struct device for a parent. It automatically creates the directories on the fly as needed.
