From 926beadb3dfaddccb3348a5b9e6c2a1f8290a220 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 15:06:12 -0800 Subject: Revert "driver core: create a private portion of struct device" This reverts commit 2831fe6f9cc4e16c103504ee09a47a084297c0f3. Turns out that device_initialize shouldn't fail silently. This series needs to be reworked in order to get into proper shape.
