From: Paul Gortmaker Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2016 22:36:05 +0000 (-0400) Subject: miscdevice: introduce builtin_misc_device X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f71082f815bf0b9599b97546cf1dd057c789c3c1;p=linux-beck.git miscdevice: introduce builtin_misc_device This is basically the same as module_misc_device but without the presence of an exit/remove function. Similar in nature to the commit f309d4443130bf814e991f836e919dca22df37ae ("platform_device: better support builtin boilerplate avoidance").
