The patch titled Altix snsc: duplicate kobject fix has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is altix-snsc-duplicate-kobject-fix.patch This patch was probably dropped from -mm because it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into its parent patch in the -mm tree. from: Greg Howard <ghoward@xxxxxxx> Fix Altix system controller (snsc) device names to include the slot number of the blade whose associated system controller is the target of the device interface. Including the slot number avoids a problem we're currently having where slots within the same enclosure are attempting to create multiple kobjects with identical names.
