This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ptp: create "pins" together with the rest of attributes to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ptp-create-pins-together-with-the-rest-of-attributes.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 85a66e55019583da1e0f18706b7a8281c9f6de5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2017 10:23:34 -0800 Subject: ptp: create "pins" together with the rest of attributes From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx> commit 85a66e55019583da1e0f18706b7a8281c9f6de5b upstream. Let's switch to using device_create_with_groups(), which will allow us to create "pins" attribute group together with the rest of ptp device attributes, and before userspace gets notified about ptp device creation.
