From 39acbc12affcaa23ef1d887ba3d197baca8e6e47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stas Sergeev Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:31:38 +0400 Subject: Driver core: fix driver_register() return value In this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=16dc42e018c2868211b4928f20a957c0c216126c the check was added for another driver to already claim the same device on the same bus. But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the -EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying to register for the same device. Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem.

Unbinding the driver through sysfs 'unbind' leaves the device stranded and confuses users so let's not create bind and unbind attributes for such drivers.
