It makes no sense in that case. Well, the 'new' entries don't interfere with old-- and we inevitably are going to end up with a situation where some software can only read the 'new' entries and some software can only read the 'old', otherwise why offer compatability at all? I interpreted the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option to mean 'also offer the deprecated entries in addition to the new structure', otherwise the name should be CONFIG_SYSFS_OLDSTYLE or some such to imply they're mutually exclusive.... > (So... what's wrong with my patch?) As it turns out, nothing (I made some error somewhere initially when testing it). Apologies if I wasn't clear. (Well, it's incomplete like my original patch was in that it only changed the device symlinks for controlX and pcmX; the other entries still had device entries pointing at card*).
