  kobject: kobj_type: remove default_attrs (2022-04-05 15:39:19 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Driver core changes for 5.18-rc2

Here are 2 small driver core changes for 5.18-rc2.

They are the final bits in the removal of the default_attrs field in
struct kobj_type.  I had to wait until after 5.18-rc1 for all of the
changes to do this came in through different development trees, and then
one new user snuck in.  So this series has 2 changes:
	- removal of the default_attrs field in the powerpc/pseries/vas
	  code.  Change has been acked by the PPC maintainers to come
	  through this tree
	- removal of default_attrs from struct kobj_type now that all
	  in-kernel users are removed.  This cleans up the kobject code
	  a little bit and removes some duplicated functionality that
	  confused people (now there is only one way to do default
	  groups.)

All of these have been in linux-next for all of this week with no
reported problems.
