Subject[PATCH 4/5] driver core: set up ownership of class devices in sysfs
Date
Plumb in get_ownership() callback for devices belonging to a class so that
they can be created with uid/gid different from global root. This will
allow network devices in a container to belong to container's root and not
global root.
