[PATCH 088/196] Driver Core: kill subsys_attribute and default sysfs ops

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jan 25 2008 - 02:50:45 EST


From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx>

Remove the no longer needed subsys_attributes, they are all converted to
the more sensical kobj_attributes.

There is no longer a magic fallback in sysfs attribute operations, all
kobjects which create simple attributes need explicitely a ktype
assigned, which tells the core what was intended here.
