[PATCH 0/3] sysfs: Group visibility fixups

[Dan Williams]

Hey Greg,

Marc was able to get me a backtrace for that bootup hang scenario that
Pierre noted here [1]. A Tested-by is still pending, but I am certain
this is the issue, and it may impact more than just the one platform if
that "empty_attrs" pattern has been repeated anywhere else in the
kernel.

I also took some time to document how to use the helpers a bit better,
and introduce DEFINE_SIMPLE_SYSFS_GROUP_VISIBLE() for cases where all
that matters is group visibility and not per attribute visibility.
