The utility macro from the sysfs core is sufficient to implement this
attribute. Make use of it.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>
---
Changes in v2:
- Use __BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_RO() (Thanks Masahiro)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241215-sysfs-const-bin_attr-kheaders-v1-1-319bbd50e224@weissschuh.net
---
__BIN_ATTR() is used over the normal struct initializer because it is
shorter and can also handle the transition to const struct bin_attr
callbacks.
If you prefer, I can switch that back, but it will introduce a trivial
conflict with [0].
Note: There is no formal maintainer for that source file.

Applied to linux-kbuild. Thanks.

Thanks, but FYI it is also already applied to the driver-core tree.
Unfortunately Greg's confirmation mails don't go to the list.
IMO having an explicit maintainer for this file could avoid this issue
in the future.
