    drivers: base: add cpu_device_create to support per-cpu devices · 3d52943b
    Sudeep Holla 提交于
    This patch adds a new function to create per-cpu devices.
    This helps in:
    1. reusing the device infrastructure to create any cpu related
       attributes and corresponding sysfs instead of creating and
       dealing with raw kobjects directly
    2. retaining the legacy path(/sys/devices/system/cpu/..) to support
       existing sysfs ABI
    3. avoiding to create links in the bus directory pointing to the
       device as there would be per-cpu instance of these devices with
       the same name since dev->bus is not populated to cpu_sysbus on
       purpose
