From a839c5afcdc345aecb35b0d3bcd0e09b571329c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Fasheh Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:35:18 -0800 Subject: sysfs: Allow removal of symlinks in the sysfs root Allow callers of sysfs_remove_link() to pass a NULL kobj, in which case sysfs_root will be used as the parent directory. This allows us to tear down top level symlinks created via sysfs_create_link(), which already has similar handling of a NULL parent object.
