-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ---------------------
From: Stefan Richter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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.
