Subject: [RFC 1/9] configfs: Allow dynamic group creation
From: Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@...el.com>
We don't want to hardcode default groups at subsystem
creation time. We export:
* configfs_register_group
* configfs_unregister_group
to allow drivers to programatically create/destroy groups
later, after module init time.
This is needed for IIO configfs support.
