Subject: [PATCH] driver/char/tpm: fix regression causesd by ppi

From: Gang Wei <[email protected]>

This patch try to fix the S3 regression https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/5/433,
which includes below line:
[ 1554.684638] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/pnp0/00:0c/ppi'

The root cause is that ppi sysfs teardown code is MIA, so while S3 resume,
the ppi kobject will be created again upon existing one.

To make the tear down code simple, change the ppi subfolder creation from
using kobject_create_and_add to just using a named ppi attribute_group. Then
ppi sysfs teardown could be done with a simple sysfs_remove_group call.

Adjusted the name & return type for ppi sysfs init function.

Hmm, tpm_add_ppi is just sysfs_create_group, which only ever returns
0. Looks like we can remove this error path, but PPI is unusable in the
failure case.

Do we need to export these symbols? These might have been left around
from when ppi was a standalone module.

sysfs_create_group will return 0 on success or return error code. So I don't
think we can remove this error path. The previous call to sysfs_create_group
also have similar error path.

We definitely need to export these symbols, since ppi was in tpm_bios.ko,
and these symbols are called from tpm.ko.

Heh, seems "Returns 0 on success or error." doesn't mean what I
thought...
