[PATCH 01/12 v2] Platform: add a dev_groups pointer to struct platform_driver

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jul 04 2019 - 08:14:36 EST


Platform drivers like to add sysfs groups to their device, but right now
they have to do it "by hand". The driver core should handle this for
them, but there is no way to get to the bus-default attribute groups as
all platform devices are "special and unique" one-off drivers/devices.

To combat this, add a dev_groups pointer to platform_driver which allows
a platform driver to set up a list of default attributes that will be
properly created and removed by the platform driver core when a probe()
function is successful and removed right before the device is unbound.

v2: addressed Johan's comments by reordering when we remove the files
from the device, and clean up on an error in a nicer way. Ended up
making the patch smaller overall, always nice.
