[RESEND][PATCH] pwm: Set class for exported channels in sysfs

From: gohai at sukzessiv.net <hidden>
Date: 2017-09-26 11:59:51
Also in: linux-pwm
Subsystem: pwm subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Uwe Kleine-König, Linus Torvalds

Notifications for devices without bus or class set get dropped by
dev_uevent_filter. Adding the class to the exported child matches
what the gpio subsystem is doing.

With this change exporting a channel triggers a udev event, which
gives userspace a chance to fixup permissions and makes it possible
for non-root users to make use of the pwm subsystem.
