Subject: ktypes vs. devices classes (struct class)
Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2023 02:12:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9644b2e3-acaf-c26b-0ec2-9a6c9cb23977@systemli.org> (raw)
Hi all,
Why do we have ktypes (struct kobj_type) AND device classes (struct class)?
Don't they serve the same purpose (more or less) and it would be
simpler, clearer and more KISS to only have one? Is this a historically
grown thing or by design?
Thanks,
-- Richard
