           Summary: erronous 'use usbfs filetype instead' message
    Kernel Version: 2.5.60-bk4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
             Owner: greg at kroah.com
         Submitter: bwindle-kbt at fint.org


Distribution: Debian Testing
Hardware Environment: single x86, Intel PIIX4, no USB devices
Software Environment: 

CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y

Problem Description:

On booting, I am seeing the message that says: "Please use the 'usbfs' filetype 
instead, the 'usbdevfs' name is deprecated.". This is before init loads, and 
therefore, I think it is something in the kernel, but the message seems to 
imply its a user-space issue.

I added a show_trace() call before this to try to help debug it.
