These "find the class device which has me as the parent"-symlinks are removed with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=n, because these devices are direct child directories now below the bus device and there is no need for such links. > - now, /sys/class/spi_master/spi2 is a symlink to > .../controller/spi_master (with DEPRECATED=n). Ugh! Are you sure, that is doesn't point to: .../controller/spi_master/spi2/ ? > The symlink direction is just noise ... the issue is that with > this approach it's no longer possible to have one controller > handle multiple SPI busses! A fix would involve maintaining > the original "spi_master:spi2" name. Sounds like a bug if that's what happened. Can you paste the output of "tree" for the relevant parts here?
