Faux Bus Proposed For The Linux Kernel To Better Deal With Simple Devices


Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman is proposing 'Faux Bus' as a new 'fake' bus solution for simple devices.

Greg KH explained in today's request for comments on this Faux Bus patch series: I've also converted two different examples of platform device abuse, the dummy regulator driver, and the USB phy code, to use this api. In both cases, the logic either was identical, or became simpler, than before, a good sign (side note, a bug was fixed in the usb phy code that no one ever noticed before)."
