deprecate PHYSDEV* keys
deprecate PHYSDEV* values in the uevent environment These values are no longer needed and inconsistent with the stacking of class devices. The event environment should not carry properties of a parent device. The key PHYSDEVDRIVER is available as DRIVER, PHYDEVBUS is indentical SUBSYSTEM. Class devices should not carry any of these values. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

What: PHYSDEVPATH, PHYSDEVBUS, PHYSDEVDRIVER in the uevent environment

When: Oktober 2008
|

Why: The stacking of class devices makes these values misleading and
|

inconsistent.
|
||||
Class devices should not carry any of these properties, and bus
|
||||
devices have SUBSYTEM and DRIVER as a replacement.
