Merge tag 'dev_groups_all_drivers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core into usb-next

dev_groups added to struct driver

Persistent tag for others to pull this branch from

This is the first patch in a longer series that adds the ability for the
driver core to create and remove a list of attribute groups
automatically when the device is bound/unbound from a specific driver.

See:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]
for details on this patch, and examples of how to use it in other
drivers.
