I am not sure I follow the reasoning here, but it is possibly because I lack some knowledge. Could you please describe bad thing would happen if "/sys/class/eeprom/eeprom0/label" would be used as opposed to "/sys/class/eeprom_dev/eeprom0/label"? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
