[PATCH RESEND 4/6 v13] gpiolib: Fix default attributes for class

From: Roland Stigge
Date: Tue Jan 15 2013 - 06:52:51 EST


There is a race condition between creating a gpio or gpiochip device and adding
default attributes. This patch fixes this by defining the default attributes as
dev_attrs of the class. For this, it was necessary to create a separate
gpiochip_class besides gpio_class.

/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
/base ... (r/o) same as N
/label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
