Ok, here's the patch. I like it, and I think it will prevent any duplicate symlinks from happening. Anyone have any objections? thanks, greg k-h -------------- Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it. To ease the task of locating class devices derived from a certain device create symlinks from parent device to its class devices. Change USB host class device name from usbX to usb_hostX to avoid conflict when creating aforementioned links. Tweaked by Greg to have the symlink be "class_name:class_device_name" in order to prevent duplicate links.
