This macro is no longer used. ksets should be created dynamically with a call to kset_create_and_register() not declared statically. Yes, there are 5 remaining static struct kset usages in the kernel tree, but they will be fixed up soon.

This makes the code a bit simpler and and gets us one step closer to deleting the deprecated subsys_attr code. NOTE, this needs the next patch in the series in order to work properly.

WTF? Passing binary structures into a sysfs file, expecting it to be in the correct format/endianness? That's just wrong on so many levels. So, these files are deleted. If you want to add them back, please do so in configfs, or in debugfs. Or use text strings, which is what sysfs is only for.

struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Clean up the use of ksets and kobjects. Kobjects are instances of objects (like struct user_info), ksets are collections of objects of a similar type (like the uids directory containing the user_info directories). So, use kobjects for the user_info directories, and a kset for the "uids" directory. On object cleanup, the final kobject_put() was missing.

This allows an easier way to get to the kset associated with a struct bus_type (you have three to choose from...) This will make it easier to move these fields to be dynamic in a future patch.

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically. Having 3 static kobjects in one structure is not only foolish, but ripe for nasty race conditions if handled improperly.
