[PATCH v2] fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdcfb: Restore the per-overlay sysfs attributes

[PATCH v2] fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdcfb: Restore the per-overlay sysfs attributes

[Karl Mehltretter]

The ovl_* files documented in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-platform-sh_mobile_lcdc_fb no
longer exist.

Commit a979182a2453 ("fbdev: lcdcfb: Register sysfs groups through driver
core") moved the attributes from each overlay's framebuffer device to
the platform driver's dev_groups and renamed them overlay_*. There is
now only one set of attributes for the whole LCDC. The callbacks still
expect dev_get_drvdata() to return a struct fb_info, but the platform
device holds struct sh_mobile_lcdc_priv, so they access the wrong
structure.

Restore the documented names and register the group on each overlay's
framebuffer device with device_add_groups(). Remove it with
device_remove_groups() before unregistering the framebuffer. Skip
creation when dev_of_fbinfo(info) is NULL, as the old device_create_file()
calls did.

Drop the CONFIG_FB_DEVICE guard, since the driver already depends on it.

Changes in v2:
- Use dev_of_fbinfo() for overlay sysfs registration and removal (Helge).

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260907021844.25497-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com/

Found while reviewing the sysfs ABI documentation. Shixiong confirmed
that using the platform driver's dev_groups is wrong here.

Compile-tested with Clang 22.1.8, ARCH=arm and W=1, using multi_v7_defconfig
with COMPILE_TEST=y, FB_DEVICE=y and FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC=m.

Also checked FB_DEVICE=n: olddefconfig disables FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC because
of its existing Kconfig dependency, and the framebuffer core compiles.
This does not test the driver with FB_DEVICE=n; removing that dependency
requires additional changes outside the overlay sysfs paths.

No runtime test; I have no SH-Mobile hardware.
