From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> [ Upstream commit 7e79b38fe9a403b065ac5915465f620a8fb3de84 ] The libertas driver was trying to register sysfs groups "by hand" which causes them to be created _after_ the device is initialized and announced to userspace, which causes races and can prevent userspace tools from seeing the sysfs files correctly. Fix this up by using the built-in sysfs_groups pointers in struct net_device which were created for this very reason, fixing the race condition, and properly allowing for any error that might have occured to be handled properly.
