From 1498221d51a43d5fa1a580618591497d90f957d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Sat, 6 May 2006 17:55:11 -0700 Subject: [CLASS DEVICE]: add attribute_group creation 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). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: David S.

This avoids the race between registering class_device (which generates hotplug event), and the creation of attribute groups.
