This series of patches switches PTP to use is_visible() to control visibility of attributes in a group, and device_create_with_groups() to ensure that attributes are created before we notify userspace of a new device. v2: - added Richard's acked-by to patch #1 - removed use of kmalloc_array in favor of kcalloc in patch #2 at Richard's request - added a cover letter v1: - initial patch set ==================== Acked-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S.
