The bus notifier doesn't "go nuts", but the call back functions must be able to handle the devices for that specific bus being passed to the function for it. Again, you shouldn't ever mix bus types with the same notifier unless you _really_ know what you are doing, and even then, I wouldn't recommend it. greg k-h -- 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/
