[RFC PATCH 2.6.12-rc3] dynamic driver sysfs callbacks and RFC on

[yani.ioannou@gmail.com (Yani Ioannou)]

Actually I was running a kernel with only bmcsensors changed to use
the void * - it should work transparently for all the other drivers
(except for a compilation warning about invalid show/store pointer
types being passed - and I have a perl script we can run against the
source tree to update drivers and get rid of those warnings).

The void * is completely optional of course, its up to the driver to
use it or not (unless I'm missing your question here?).
