Back in the days, sysfs seemed to have refcounting issues and subsystems needed a completion to be safe. This is not the case anymore, so I2C can get rid of this code. There is noone else besides I2C doing something like this currently (checked with the attached coccinelle script which checks if a release function exists and if it contains a completion).Have you validated this with DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE enabled?
You saved me, thank you a lot for this pointer! Patch discarded. I assume other subsystems also moved away from 'struct device_type' for the release function as well; but this is just a guess for now and I'll call it a day for today. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
