Subject: sysfs: Add sysfs_merge_group() and sysfs_unmerge_group()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=69d44ffbd772bede8c2a6d182e6e14f94826520b;p=linux-beck.git

sysfs: Add sysfs_merge_group() and sysfs_unmerge_group()

This patch (as1420) adds sysfs_merge_group() and sysfs_unmerge_group()
functions, allowing drivers easily to add and remove sets of
attributes to a pre-existing attribute group directory.
