Subjectkobject_init() sets kobj->subsys wrong?
Date
Pat, I need your help tracking this one down... :-)

Your recent patch creating find_bus("scsi") always returns NULL. I see
that's because bus_subsys.list is empty. Now, why is it empty, when the
SCSI driver did a bus_register()? It comes down to the code in
kobject_add(), where struct subsystem *s = kobj->subsys == NULL, thus the
list_add_tail code never gets called in there.

The calls go something like this:

scsi_sysfs_register()
bus_register(&scsi_bus_type)
subsystem_register(scsi_bus_type->subsys)
subsystem_init()
kobject_init() sets kobj->subsys = subsys_get(kobj->subsys) which
seems wrong
kobject_register()
kobject_add() where kobject->subsys is NULL

Strange, but true, and it may be kobject_init() that's borked setting
kobj->subsys.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Matt
