Subject: kobject_uevent call in device_add

Is there any specific reason that "kobject_uevent(&dev->kobj, KOBJ_ADD)
is called before calling  "class_intf->add_dev(dev, class_intf) in the 
function device_add()?

I am wondering if we call after class_intf->add_dev, it will provide 
opportunity for
client drivers to do some operation before user space is notified.

Thanks,
Srinivas
