The patch titled driver core: fix built-in drivers sysfs links has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was driver-core-fix-built-in-drivers-sysfs-links.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: driver core: fix built-in drivers sysfs links From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx> built-in drivers had broken sysfs links that caused bootup hangs for certain driver unregistry sequences.
