Subject: [PATCH 0/6] platform/x86: firmware_attributes_class: Simplify API

Looking at the users of firmware_attributes_class makes my head hurt.
Simplify the subsystem and its users.

This will break the currently developed samsung-galaxybook driver,
resolving the breakage should be trivial.

Only compile-tested.

I have some further improvements in the pipeline building on these
changes, but those will need some more time.
