Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Add device_create_files() and device_remove_files() helpers

Hi,

this is a simple patch to add device_create_files() and
device_remove_files() to replace multiple device_create_file() or
_remove() calls with a single shot with the device_attr list.

It's basically just a clean up, but also helps to simplify the error
handling a lot in many existing codes since the function itself does
rollback at error.

The series contains a patch to apply these to drivers/base/node.c.
I have lots of patches (up to 30) to use these in the whole tree, but
maybe it'd be easier too apply once after this stuff is merged at
first.  It's just a cleanup so no urgent task, after all.

thanks,

Takashi
