No fundamental objections from me. I just want to reiterate one thing I think Jiri said. There are other kinds of devices which make up this kind of hierarchy. I can think of two examples involving bonafide ethernet ports. 1) A top-level parent device provides the resources for all of the RX and TX queues, which are allocated and divided by the driver down into the ethernet ports below. Example: niu 2) Cards are going to need more than one PCI-E slot to get all of the PCI-E lanes necessary to saturate the link. Two PCI devices show up and need to get probed in this scenerio and it would be nice to have some object to represent the logical "glueing" together of those two devices. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
