[PATCH] ieee1394: eth1394: bring back a parent device
This adds a real parent device to eth1394's ethX device like in Linux 2.6.20 and older. However, due to unfinished conversion of the ieee1394 away from class_device, we now refer to the FireWire controller's PCI device as the parent, not to the ieee1394 driver's fw-host device. Having a real parent device instead of a virtual one allows udev scripts to distinguish eth1394 interfaces from networking bridges, bondings and the likes. Fixes a regression since 2.6.21: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177199 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
