From f3b4f3c6dec04c6c8261fe22645f07b39976595a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 02:32:00 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Make kobject's name be const char * kobject: make kobject's name const char * since users should not attempt to change it (except by calling kobject_rename).
