The patch titled
Driver core: fix deprectated sysfs structure for nested class devices
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
driver-core-fix-deprectated-sysfs-structure-for-nested-class-devices.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Driver core: fix deprectated sysfs structure for nested class devices
From: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Nested class devices used to have 'device' symlink point to a real
(physical) device instead of a parent class device. When converting
subsystems to struct device we need to keep doing what class devices did if
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is Y, otherwise parts of udev break.
