[PATCH v2 3/7] driver core: add device_{add|remove}_group() helpers

From: Dmitry Torokhov
Date: Wed Jul 19 2017 - 20:25:57 EST


We have helpers that work with NULL terminated array of groups, but many
drivers only create a single supplemental group, and do not want to declare
a group array. Let's provide them with helpers working with a single group.
