__exit modifiers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The __exit modifiers must have been added by whomever submitted or
applied the patch.

I note that __exit is not present in earlier 2.2 kernels, so we would 
need #ifndef __exit... #define __exit __init... #endif
like is present in i2c-philips-par.c, although I don't know
if that is a correct redefinition.

So should we add this or not?
