[PATCH] [11/12] SYSFS: Add class_attr_string for simple read-only string

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

Several drivers just export a static string as class attributes.

Use the new extensible attribute support to define a simple
CLASS_ATTR_STRING() macro for this.

This will allow to remove code from drivers in followon patches.
