[PATCH v3 2/7] sysfs: transparently handle const pointers in ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS()
Posted by Thomas Weißschuh 1 month, 3 weeks ago
To ease the constification process of 'struct attribute', transparently
handle the const pointers in ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS().
A cast is used instead of assigning to .attrs_new as it keeps the macro
smaller. As both members are aliased to each other the result is
identical.
