From 37c1c04cca920de8a68285751b2c7b3d937ad50c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jarkko Sakkinen Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 19:36:06 +0300 Subject: sysfs: added __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() Added a new function __compat_only_sysfs_link_group_to_kobj() that adds a symlink from attribute or group to a kobject. This needed for maintaining backwards compatibility with PPI attributes in the TPM driver.
