[PATCH 1/2] sysfs: Allow removal of symlinks in the sysfs root

2008-02-04 Thread Mark Fasheh
Allow callers of sysfs_remove_link() to pass a NULL kobj, in which case sysfs_root will be used as the parent directory. This allows us to tear down top level symlinks created via sysfs_create_link(), which already has similar handling of a NULL parent object. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <[EMAIL
