Greg Kroah-Hartman bc5bca53cc driver-core: documentation: fix up Greg's email address 
My old email address was used in a lot of documentation files, so fix
this up to point to the correct one now.

Raw Blame History

What: /sys/devices Date: February 2006 Contact: Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org Description: The /sys/devices tree contains a snapshot of the internal state of the kernel device tree. Devices will be added and removed dynamically as the machine runs, and between different kernel versions, the layout of the devices within this tree will change.

	Please do not rely on the format of this tree because of
	this.  If a program wishes to find different things in
	the tree, please use the /sys/class structure and rely
	on the symlinks there to point to the proper location
	within the /sys/devices tree of the individual devices.
	Or rely on the uevent messages to notify programs of
	devices being added and removed from this tree to find
	the location of those devices.

	Note that sometimes not all devices along the directory
	chain will have emitted uevent messages, so userspace
	programs must be able to handle such occurrences.
