The patch titled sysfs: provide a clue about the effects of CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS=y has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sysfs-provide-a-clue-about-the-effects-of-config_usb_device_class=y.patch This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: sysfs: provide a clue about the effects of CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS=y From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> With CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS=y we get lots of warnings like sysfs: duplicate filename '189:0' can not be created According to Kay "They have the same dev_t as usb_device and would be a reason for the duplicates". So let's emit a helpful message explaining that.
