Subject: [PATCH 1/3] gpio: sysfs: fix gpio-chip device-attribute leak
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2015 13:00:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421150406-20255-2-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1421150406-20255-1-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org>

The gpio-chip device attributes were never destroyed when the device was
removed.

Fix by using device_create_with_groups() to create the device attributes
of the chip class device.

Note that this also fixes the attribute-creation race with userspace.

Fixes: d8f388d8dc8d ("gpio: sysfs interface")
Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org>	# v2.6.27+
