From a456b7023e0abf80bb03b0bdf5471b48878e5c49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 16:33:10 +0100 Subject: dev_printk and new-style class devices As the new-style class devices (as opposed to old-style struct class_device) are becoming more widely used, I noticed that the dev_printk-based functions are not working properly with these. New-style class devices have no driver nor bus, almost by definition, and as a result dev_driver_string(), which is used as the first parameter of dev_printk, resolves to an empty string. This causes entries like the following to show in my logs: i2c-2: adapter [SMBus stub driver] registered Notice the unaesthetical leading whitespace. In order to fix this problem, I suggest that we extend dev_driver_string to deal with new-style class devices: Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/base/core.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'drivers/base/core.c') diff --git a/drivers/base/core.c b/drivers/base/core.c index 658eae5dacd..9ea12d9b48a 100644 --- a/drivers/base/core.c +++ b/drivers/base/core.c @@ -43,7 +43,8 @@ int (*platform_notify_remove)(struct device * dev) = NULL; const char *dev_driver_string(struct device *dev) { return dev->driver ? dev->driver->name : - (dev->bus ? dev->bus->name : ""); + (dev->bus ? dev->bus->name : + (dev->class ? dev->class->name : "")); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(dev_driver_string); -- cgit v1.2.3
