A way to keep from having to add checks like this for every single driver, when the driver shouldn't even really have their probe function called unless their expected endpoints are going to be there. I'll think about that over the next few weeks... thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
