Summary: mdev does not run command if it does not find the
"dev" file under /sys
Description:
If mdev does not find a dev file under the appropriate branch in /sys, it
quits without executing a command (if one is present).
The attached patch fixes that. If dev does not exist, then no device file
in /dev is created (of course!), but command, if present, is executed.
This is very handy for firmware loading, since the driver may not expose
any device files (e.g. the driver is used by other drivers and not by
userspace) and still require a firmware loaded to its device.
The patch applies to svn trunk rev 18563.
It shouldn't interfere with the circulating patch which adds symlink and
directory support, but I have not verified this.
