platform/x86: firmware_attributes_class: Simplify API
The module core already guarantees that a module can only be unloaded
after all other modules using its symbols have been unloaded.
As it's already the responsibility of the drivers using
firmware_attributes_class to clean up their devices before unloading,
the lifetime of the firmware_attributes_class can be bound to the
lifetime of the module.
This enables the direct usage of firmware_attributes_class from the
drivers, without having to go through the lifecycle functions,
leading to simplifications for both the subsystem and its users.

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.
