3.2.67-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0915e6feb38de8d3601819992a5bd050201a56fa upstream. The gpio device attributes were never destroyed when the gpio was unexported (or on export failures). Use device_create_with_groups() to create the default device attributes of the gpio class device. Note that this also fixes the attribute-creation race with userspace for these attributes. Remove contingent attributes in export error path and on unexport.
