Subject: ieee1394: eth1394: bring back a parent device
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc4~97^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef50a6c59dc66f22eba67704e291d709f21e0456;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

ieee1394: eth1394: bring back a parent device

This adds a real parent device to eth1394's ethX device like in Linux
2.6.20 and older.  However, due to unfinished conversion of the ieee1394
away from class_device, we now refer to the FireWire controller's PCI
device as the parent, not to the ieee1394 driver's fw-host device.

Having a real parent device instead of a virtual one allows udev scripts
to distinguish eth1394 interfaces from networking bridges, bondings and
the likes.

Fixes a regression since 2.6.21:
