Forgive my ignorance, but how do I conncet a sysfs directory with a /dev device? So far the only way I found is to compare /sys/whatever/dev with the major+minor of the dev file, which requires brute-force enumeration on at least one side.
Can't we have udev make a symlink when it creates device node? Kernel can't provide this link since it knows nothing about naming. You could either have a symlink from /sys/ or maybe /dev/enum/<name matching print_dev_t() output> -- Dmitry - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
