From shemminger@osdl.org Fri Apr 21 13:03:59 2006 Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 12:52:55 -0700 From: Stephen Hemminger To: Greg KH , "David S. Miller" Subject: class device: add attribute_group creation Message-ID: <20060421125255.3451959f@localhost.localdomain> Extend the support of attribute groups in class_device's to allow groups to be created as part of the registration process. This allows network device's to avoid race between registration and creating groups. Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object, the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done because there are different types of network devices (wireless for example).
