From 980c05616e5d554c46176fe08b5601801f2f8192 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2023 11:33:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] driver core: make sysfs_dev_char_kobj static Nothing outside of drivers/base/core.c uses sysfs_dev_char_kobj, so make it static and document what it is used for so we remember it the next time we touch it 15 years from now.
