Subject: sysfs: Allow sysfs_move_dir(..., NULL) again.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a6a8357788d6a37f8ad0f7eb46b0a386b613abb9;p=linux-beck.git

sysfs: Allow sysfs_move_dir(..., NULL) again.

As device_move() and kobject_move() both handle a NULL destination,
sysfs_move_dir() should do this as well (again) and fall back to
sysfs_root in that case.
