Yes, you are correct, that is how the driver model currently works. > What if two drivers both can drive the device, like sd & sg in scsi > subsystem? You have to go through a lot of pain to get it to work :) Or create a virtual bus and devices, but that is not how scsi decided to go about this. I do have some half-baked patches to fix this in a generic way, to allow multiple drivers to bind to devices, but it's not fully working right now and I got side-tracked by having to clean up the kset/kobject/ktype mess first to get this to work properly, so it might be a few months. Why, is there some use for multiple drivers to devices that you want to use? thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
