Subject: [PATCH 4/6 v13] gpiolib: Fix default attributes for class

There is a race condition between creating a gpio or gpiochip device and adding
default attributes. This patch fixes this by defining the default attributes as
dev_attrs of the class. For this, it was necessary to create a separate
gpiochip_class besides gpio_class.
