Revision 4dc86ae1f925b2121d4e75058675895f83e54c71 authored by Linus Torvalds on 09 April 2010, 17:05:33 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 09 April 2010, 17:05:33 UTC
This reverts commit ba168fc37dea145deeb8fa9e7e71c748d2e00d74.

It changes user-visible sysfs interfaces, and breaks some existing user
space applications which apparently rely on the fact that the output
does not contain the "0x" prefix.
