Hello :) These series removes every use of platform_profile_handler outside platform_profile.c and fundamentally modifies the platform profile API. Currently, drivers have to allocate a platform_profile_handler and then manually setup undocumented (as far as I know) members, before registering the class device. This approach leaves exposed internal members that should be managed *only* by the platform_profile module. This has not been a problem yet because the interface is very simple, but that could change in the future. These series tackles this problem by presenting a new interface which works around the following method: struct *platform_profile_register(struct device *dev, const char *name, void *drvdata, const struct platform_profile_ops *ops) Which now returns a pointer to the new allocated class device assigned with *drvdata. I think this both is easier to use for future developers and safer, because it protects internal structures that shouldn't be meddled with. If you want more details about this interface you can read patch [18/18] which adds kerneldoc to exported methods. These series would also make it trivial to implement a method that "updates" selected choices, in a similar fashion to how sysfs_update_group() updates attribute visibility. I proposed this a couple days ago [1], but no drivers currently need this, so I dropped the idea for the time being. Your feedback is much appreciated!
