Subject: kobject: Cleanup kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFS
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b4a4fea253e1296222603ccc55430ed7cd9413a;p=linux-beck.git

kobject: Cleanup kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFS

It finally dawned on me what the clean fix to sysfs_rename_dir
calling kobject_set_name is.  Move the work into kobject_rename
where it belongs.  The callers serialize us anyway so this is
safe.
