From 1cdcb6b43fda7424b7435dac8f80b2b5d8a48899 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hansjoerg Lipp Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 18:36:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] TTY: return class device pointer from tty_register_device() Let tty_register_device() return a pointer to the class device it creates. This allows registrants to add their own sysfs files under the class device node.
