The patch titled
Driver core: add driver_create_group
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
driver-core-add-driver_create_group.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Driver core: add driver_create_group
From: Greg KH <greg@xxxxxxxxx>
Add function for drivers to be able to create and remove sysfs attribute
groups without having to fall back to the "raw" sysfs calls.
