This will be used by the Dell and Lenovo WMI management drivers to
prevent both drivers being active.

Changes in v2:
 This is a new file requested as part of the review of the proposed
think_lmi.c driver. Labeling as V2 to keep series consistent (hope
that's correct).

Yes that is correct; and thank you for taking care of making
the code for registering the firmware_attribute class shared.

My idea here was to have this be a kernel-library which drivers which need it
select. In this case it should not be visible to end-users and does not need a
help text, so this should look like this:

config FW_ATTR_CLASS
	tristate
	default n

I think it should be allowed to have multiple drivers
using the firmware_attributes class, e.g. besides the main system
BIOS an Ethermet or FiberChannel; card with an option ROM which supports
booting from iSCSI/FCoE or FiberChannel SCSI disks / LUNs could expose
settings to configure which disk/LUN to boot from this way.

And there is nothing wrong with multiple drivers calling device_create
with the same class.

So I suggest renaming fw_attributes_class_register to
fw_attributes_class_get (and unregister to put) and to make
fw_attr_inuse a counter and create the class when the counter
goes from 0 -> 1 and free it when it goes from 1 to 0 again.

Otherwise this looks good. I like that you already thought about
races and have protected fw_attr_inuse with a mutex.

Regards,

Hans

p.s.

I'm getting bounces for: mario.limonciello@dell.com (Mario has a new (also Linux related) job elsewhere),
for the next version of the series please replace the Cc to Mario with a Cc to Dell.Client.Kernel@dell.com.

Ah - I hadn't considered it as being used with devices other than the
BIOS. That all makes sense and I'll update.
