From 1bb6c08abfb653ce6e65d8ab4ddef403227afedf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:54:47 +0200 Subject: driver core: Move driver_data back to struct device Having to allocate memory as part of dev_set_drvdata() is a problem because that memory may never get freed if the device itself is not created. So move driver_data back to struct device. This is a partial revert of commit b4028437.
