From 4e9cac2ba437fcb093c7417b1cd91a77ebd1756a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Thu, 3 May 2007 03:28:13 -0700 Subject: [NET]: Add __dev_getfirstbyhwtype Add __dev_getfirstbyhwtype for callers that don't want a reference but some data from the device and thus need to take the rtnl anyway.
