Then maybe you should

a) Read the entire initial thread (which you participated in), esp this
message:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=105518049424749&w=2

b) Read the comments in the code (from drivers/base/sys.c):

/**
 * sysdev_shutdown - Shut down all system devices.
 *
 * Loop over each class of system devices, and the devices in each
 * of those classes. For each device, we call the shutdown method for
 * each driver registered for the device - the globals, the auxillaries,
 * and the class driver.
 *
 * Note: The list is iterated in reverse order, so that we shut down
 * child devices before we shut down thier parents. The list ordering
 * is guaranteed by virtue of the fact that child devices are registered
 * after their parents.
 */

c) Try using the code and stop being a troll.

Thanks,
