From 3cc50d07be10f67aff836f8247a240ec132c6a67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Wunner Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2024 22:00:01 +0200 Subject: driver core: Add device_show_string() helper for sysfs attributes For drivers wishing to expose an unsigned long, int or bool at a static memory location in sysfs, the driver core provides ready-made helpers such as device_show_ulong() to be used as ->show() callback. Some drivers need to expose a string and so far they all provide their own ->show() implementation. arch/powerpc/perf/hv-24x7.c went so far as to create a device_show_string() helper but kept it private. Make it public for reuse by other drivers. The pattern seems to be sufficiently frequent to merit a public helper. Add a DEVICE_STRING_ATTR_RO() macro in line with the existing DEVICE_ULONG_ATTR() and similar macros to ease declaration of string attributes.
