[PATCH v2 0/7] New bind/unbingd uevents

[Dmitry Torokhov]

Hi Greg,

Here is the v2 of bind/unbind uevent patch series.  The new bind/unbind
will allow triggering firmware update through udev, and the new device
sysfs API will cut down on some boilerplate code in drivers.

As you requested, I moved the new functions to device.h, in the process I
exported existing device_add_groups() and device_remove_groups() and called
the new functions devm_device_{add|remove}_group[s]() to get away from the
sysfs "rawness".

Below is also a patch to systemd to stop dropping the new attributes
(why they think they need to inspect and discard the data they do not
understand is beyond me).

Thanks,
Dmitry

V2:
- made device_{add|remove}_groups() public
- added device_{add|remove}_group() helpers
- the new devm APIs are moved into device.h and "sysfs" suffix dropped
- added 3 patches showing use in the drivers

V1: initial [re]post

Dmitry Torokhov (7):
  driver core: emit uevents when device is bound to a driver
  driver core: make device_{add|remove}_groups() public
  driver core: add device_{add|remove}_group() helpers
  driver core: add devm_device_add_group() and friends
  Input: gpio_keys - use devm_device_add_group() for attributes
  Input: synaptics_rmi4 - use devm_device_add_group() for attributes in F01
  Input: axp20x-pek - switch to using devm_device_add_group()
