[LTP] [PATCH] kernel/uevent: Adjust the number of uevents dynamically in uevent02

[Dylan Jhong]

Hi Cyril,

Oh, i got it!!! Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I thought this was talking about adding the .needs_kconfigs property.
I will add setup() function in v2 patch.

And about the adjustment of uevent declaration, any comments that I can
do in v2 patch?

Best,
Dylan
