[PATCH 3/5] driver core: class: add function to create /sys/class/<class>/foo directory

From: Akinobu Mita
Date: Sun Sep 08 2019 - 08:41:52 EST


This adds a new function class_kobject_create_and_add() that creates a
directory in the /sys/class/<class>.

This function is required to create the /sys/class/leds/triggers directory
that contains all available LED triggers.
