From 151ef38f7c0ec1b0420f04438b0316e3a30bf2e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 16:09:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] driver core: Add the ability to unbind drivers to devices from userspace This adds a single file, "unbind", to the sysfs directory of every device that is currently bound to a driver. To unbind the driver from the device, write anything to this file and they will be disconnected from each other.
