From 134c99e907ef2572cdaa148c191984b95d671981 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 00:04:40 -0700 Subject: [ARM] ecard: convert to use the kthread API This patch modifies the startup of kecardd to use kthread_run not a kernel_thread combination of kernel_thread and daemonize. Making the code slightly simpler and more maintainable. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
