3.2.67-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 39ef311204941ddd01ea2950d6220c8ccc710d15 upstream. device_create_groups lets callers create devices as well as associated sysfs attributes with a single call. This avoids race conditions seen if sysfs attributes on new devices are created later.
