When running a kernel with Clang's Control Flow Integrity implemented, there is a violation that happens when accessing /sys/firmware/acpi/pm_profile: $ cat /sys/firmware/acpi/pm_profile 0 $ dmesg ...

There is a CFI violation because pm_profile_attr is of type struct device_attribute but kobj_attr_show calls ->show expecting it to be from struct kobj_attribute. CFI checking ensures that function pointer types match when doing indirect calls. Fix pm_profile_attr to be defined in terms of kobj_attribute so there is no violation or mismatch.
