Subject: [PATCH 10 of 12] Fix Tpm driver -- sysfs owernship changes

In the current driver all sysfs files end up owned by the base driver
module rather than the module that actually owns the device this is a
problem if the module is unloaded and the file is open. This patch fixes
all that.

Use an attribute group, instead of this. That will allow you to get
rid of the TPM_NUM_ATTR value, and this looney macro:

Ok, the patch below has the same functionality as the previous patch but
gets rid of the macro and implements an attribute_group. Is there any way
to avoid the repeated code in every tpm_specific file to setup the
attribute_group and still ensure the files are owned by the tpm_specific
module? The only thing I can come up with is either not using the
TPM_DEVICE macro at all or creating with TPM_DEVICE macro and then
changing the owner field.

Why are you trying to split this driver up into such tiny pieces?
What's wrong with one driver for all devices?

The driver was orginally all one piece and was split at the suggestion
of Ian Campbell on this list.
