From 0296b2281352e4794e174b393c37f131502e09f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kay Sievers Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 05:33:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT option It makes zero sense to have hotplug, but not the netlink events enabled today. Remove this option and merge the kobject_uevent.h header into the kobject.h header file.

The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events.
