Under the class watchdog_class, we can have multiple device on a system, and these attributes would be different for different devices. So, what I am thinking is to create device in __watchdog_register_device using device_create_with_groups instead of device_create. Here we can link a attribute_group with all attributes you suggested. ~Pratyush -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-watchdog" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
