-/**
- * sysfs_schedule_callback - helper to schedule a callback for a kobject
- * @kobj: object we're acting for.
- * @func: callback function to invoke later.
- * @data: argument to pass to @func.
- * @owner: module owning the callback code
- *
- * sysfs attribute methods must not unregister themselves or their parent
- * kobject (which would amount to the same thing).  Attempts to do so will
- * deadlock, since unregistration is mutually exclusive with driver
- * callbacks.
- *
- * Instead methods can call this routine, which will attempt to allocate
- * and schedule a workqueue request to call back @func with @data as its
- * argument in the workqueue's process context.  @kobj will be pinned
- * until @func returns.
- *
- * Returns 0 if the request was submitted, -ENOMEM if storage could not
- * be allocated, -ENODEV if a reference to @owner isn't available,
- * -EAGAIN if a callback has already been scheduled for @kobj.
