Subject: Driver core: accept all valid action-strings in uevent-trigger
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~480^2~12
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=60a96a59569bab85571d0089682109bd3324e896;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-x86-ivi.git

Driver core: accept all valid action-strings in uevent-trigger

This allows the uevent file to handle any type of uevent action to be
triggered by userspace instead of just the "add" uevent.
