Subject[PATCH 1/1] drivers: misc: pass miscdevice pointer via file private data
DateMon, 3 May 2010 08:31:33 +0300
For misc devices, inode->i_cdev doesn't point to the device drivers own data.
Link between file operations and device driver internal data is lost.
Pass pointer to misc device struct via file private data for driver open
function use.
