Subject: [PATCH] Use attribute groups in struct device_type

Greg,

Please consider applying the patch below. It switches struct device_type
to using attribute groups which os more flexible. I am using it in my
input class_device -> device conversion (which is 99% done btw).

I looked through -mm and the latest git and there does not seem to be
any users of struct device_type yet...

Driver core: use attribute groups in struct device_type

Attribute groups are more flexible than attribute lists
(an attribute list can be represented by anonymous group)
so switch struct device_type to use them.

Also rework attribute creation for devices so that they all
cleaned up properly in case of errors.
