SubjectRe: [PATCH] Driver Core fixes for 2.6.0-test3
From
Date
ChangeSet 1.1152.2.7, 2003/08/15 10:12:59-07:00, greg@kroah.com

Driver Core: add warnings if .release functions are not set for objects.

This has been in the -mm tree for a while and has helped a lot in finding
lots of improper users of the driver core. It also moves the driver core
code up quite a few levels on the "Rusty's guide to kernel APIs".
