Subject: fix the sysfs_add_file_to_group interfaces
From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I can't see a reason why these shouldn't work on every group. However,
they only seem to work on named groups. This patch allows the group
functions to work on anonymous groups (those with NULL names).
