No, sorry, again, you should not be using kobjects, and do not polute
the main /sys/kernel/ namespace with this.

Use 'struct device' please, that is what it is there for, and is what
the rest of the kernel is using.  And use the rest of the
driver/bus/device infrastructure as your model will work with it just
fine.

Yes, I know you said you didn't think you could use it, and that your
code was different than everyone elses, but I still do not believe it,
sorry.

good luck,

greg k-h
