sysfs: Functions for adding/removing symlinks to/from attribute groups
The most convenient way to expose ACPI power resources lists of a device is to put symbolic links to sysfs directories representing those resources into special attribute groups in the device's sysfs directory. For this purpose, it is necessary to be able to add symbolic links to attribute groups. For this reason, add sysfs helper functions for adding/removing symbolic links to/from attribute groups, sysfs_add_link_to_group() and sysfs_remove_link_from_group(), respectively. This change set includes a build fix from David Rientjes. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
