From 3e95637a48820ff8bedb33e6439def96ccff1de5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 17:10:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Driver Core: Make dev_info and friends print the bus name if there is no driver This patch (as721) makes dev_info and related macros print the device's bus name if the device doesn't have a driver, instead of printing just a blank. If the device isn't on a bus either... well, then it does leave a blank space. But it will be easier for someone else to change if they want.
