Subject: driver core: Add class_attr_string for simple read-only string
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=869dfc875e3;p=linux-beck.git

driver core: Add class_attr_string for simple read-only string

Several drivers just export a static string as class attributes.

Use the new extensible attribute support to define a simple
CLASS_ATTR_STRING() macro for this.

This will allow to remove code from drivers in followon patches.
