With this patch, how does the existing code fail as the drivers aren't fixed up?

I like this change, just worried it will cause problems if it gets into .35, without your RFC patch. Will it?

geethanks!

On the FC6 test box I have no networking.

Ick.

Eric, any ideas?

Yes. I just found some time to test my fixes and things are looking good. It really is just two one line fixes.

On the other part of this debug with SYSFS_DEPRECATED enabled it with mac80211_hwsim drivers works fine no problems. I expect the bnep driver will also be fine.

What is affecting those two is arguably a bug in the non-deprecated sysfs mode.

Regardless here are my fixes. I have split this into a patch for the warning and a patch for sysfs_delete_link. Because at least the sysfs_delete_link code needs to make into 2.6.35 if we can.
