[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.

[An Example]
The best example of these basic concepts is the simple_children

-group creating and destroying these children.
+subsystem/group and the simple_child item in configfs_example_explicit.c
+and configfs_example_macros.c. It shows a trivial object displaying and
+storing an attribute, and a simple group creating and destroying these
+children.
+
+The only difference between configfs_example_explicit.c and
+configfs_example_macros.c is how the attributes of the childless item
+are defined. The childless item has extended attributes, each with
+their own show()/store() operation. This follows a convention commonly
+used in sysfs. configfs_example_explicit.c creates these attributes
+by explicitly defining the structures involved. Conversely
+configfs_example_macros.c uses some convenience macros from configfs.h
+to define the attributes. These macros are similar to their sysfs
+counterparts.
