I noticed two things: adding values ends up being kind of messy, and the hotplug method in drivers/usb/core/usb.c is subtly wrong! These two patches attempt to fix both of those problems. Let me know if you don't like the HOTPLUG_ENV_VAR name and want something different. If you apply these, I'll send patches to use HOTPLUG_ENV_VAR in net/, drivers/ieee1394/, etc. Thanks, Roland - 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/
