Hi all,
Here is the third iteration of the patchset to add better attribute
group support to the driver core and sysfs.
Others have now tested it, and we got 3 more patches fixing a warning
that was showing up when binary attributes were in a group with no
"normal" attributes, and some more helper macros were added and cleaned
up.
I've booted this successfully against 3.11-rc1 with no problems (am
sending these from that machine.)
Ian, I didn't add a DEVICE_PATTR() macro yet, that can come later. I
considered it, but that would also mean a BUS_PATTR() and the like, which I
guess works, but I hate even a _hint_ of "Hungarian" notation, which this
implies.
Anyone else have a better name for this macro:
#define DEVICE_PATTR(_name) &dev_attr_##_name.attr
that they can think of? It will cut down on the typing done for
attribute lists.
changes from v3:
- tested by Guenter
- patches from Oliver added
- refreshed on 3.11-rc1 (minor fuzz)
- Ian glanced at them.
changes from v2:
- actually boots
- 7th patch added properly
- added BUS_ATTR, CLASS_ATTR, and DRIVER_ATTR RW and RO macros
to help with converting code to use attributes properly.
thanks,
greg k-h
