[PATCH 10/15] mtd: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk

From: Fam Zheng <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-17 07:23:01
Also in: linux-nvme, linuxppc-dev, lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: memory technology devices (mtd), the rest · Maintainers: Miquel Raynal, Richard Weinberger, Vignesh Raghavendra, Linus Torvalds

Previously after device_add_disk returns, the KOBJ_ADD uevent is already
emitted. Adding attributes after that is a poor usage of kobject, and
in practice may result in race conditions with userspace, for
example udev checks availability of certain attributes and initializes
/dev entries conditionally.

device_add_disk can handle adding attribute group better, so use it.
