  driver core: remove BUS_ATTR() (2019-03-18 07:07:30 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Driver core patch for 5.1-rc3

Here is a single driver core patch for 5.1-rc3.

After 5.1-rc1, all of the users of BUS_ATTR() are finally removed, so we
can now drop this macro from include/linux/device.h so that no more new
users will be created.

This patch has been in linux-next for a while, with no reported issues.

Note that a quick grep shows that it still exists in the Chinese
translation of filesystems/sysfs.txt..

Also mentioned in a comment, but at least there it talks about the "old macro".

Yeah, I wasn't going to touch that :)

Usually the translations take a few versions to sync back up again, as
they watch the English version for changes.

Yes, I had to "open code" it in one place so I tried to document why it
was done that way.

thanks,
