[PATCH 4.0 185/220] i2c: mux: use proper dev when removing "channel-X" symlinks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat May 02 2015 - 15:22:17 EST


4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 133778482ec6c8fde69406be380333963627c17a upstream.

Those symlinks are created for the mux_dev, so we need to remove it from
there. Currently, it breaks for muxes where the mux_dev is not the device
of the parent adapter like this:

[ 78.234644] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 365 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5c/0x78()
[ 78.242438] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/i2cbus@8/channel-0'

Remove confusing comments while we are here.
