[RFC PATCH 06/12] of: kobj: introduce of_attach_tree_sysfs()

[Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult]

Introduce helper for attaching an (separate) oftree into sysfs.
This is useful, when drivers use their own internal device trees,
separate from the platform's global one, and wanna make it visible
to userspace via sysfs.
