Several drivers need to dynamically calculate the size of an binary attribute. Currently this is done by assigning attr->size from the is_bin_visible() callback.
Hi, i really like your idea of introducing this new callback, it will be very useful for the wmi-bmof driver :). Thanks, Armin Wolf
This has drawbacks: * It is not documented. * A single attribute can be instantiated multiple times, overwriting the shared size field. * It prevents the structure to be moved to read-only memory. Introduce a new dedicated callback to calculate the size of the attribute.
