Hans de Goede 0a08a7fa12 fbdev: Use device_create_with_groups() to fix sysfs groups registration race 
[ Upstream commit 68eeb0871e ]

The fbdev sysfs attributes are registered after sending the uevent for
the device creation, leaving a race window where e.g. udev rules may
not be able to access the sysfs attributes because the registration is
not done yet.

Fix this by switching to device_create_with_groups(). This also results in
a nice cleanup. After switching to device_create_with_groups() all that
is left of fb_init_device() is setting the drvdata and that can be passed
to device_create[_with_groups]() too. After which fb_init_device() can
be completely removed.

Dropping fb_init_device() + fb_cleanup_device() in turn allows removing
fb_info.class_flag as they were the only user of this field.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
