[PATCH 1/1] driver-core: prepare for 2.6.27 api change by adding dev_set_name

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri May 30 2008 - 00:18:32 EST


From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Create the dev_set_name function now so that various subsystems can
start changing over to it before other changes in 2.6.27 will make it
compulsory.
