Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] driver core: class: expose the class kobject
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>
Export the address of the /sys/class kobject to users that need to
chain off of it by means other than calling register_class(). This will
be used by the GPIO subsystem to provide a backward compatibility
mount-point for the GPIO sysfs class once it's disabled.
