[PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition.
Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended form attributes easier. configfs should have something similiar. - _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the sysfs macros. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute() operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended form configfs_attributes.

319The only difference between configfs_example_explicit.c and
320configfs_example_macros.c is how the attributes of the childless item
321are defined. The childless item has extended attributes, each with
322their own show()/store() operation. This follows a convention commonly
323used in sysfs. configfs_example_explicit.c creates these attributes
324by explicitly defining the structures involved. Conversely
325configfs_example_macros.c uses some convenience macros from configfs.h
326to define the attributes. These macros are similar to their sysfs
327counterparts.
