The patch titled
driver core: handle sysfs_op failure while device_add
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
driver-core-handle-sysfs_op-failure-while-device_add.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: driver core: handle sysfs_op failure while device_add
From: Dmitriy Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxx>
- rearrange error path sequence, in order to make it more correct. In fact
if initial sequance was doA(); doB(); doC(); we should undo it with folowing
sequance undoC(); undoB(); undoA();
- handle sysfs_ops failure
This patch kills "ignoring return value of 'sysfs_create_link'" warning
message.
