Subject: [PATCHv3 4/5] Input: EXC3000: Add support to query model and fw_version

Expose model and fw_version via sysfs. Also query the model
in probe to make sure, that the I2C communication with the
device works before successfully probing the driver.

This is a bit complicated, since EETI devices do not have
a sync interface. Sending the commands and directly reading
does not work. Sending the command and waiting for some time
is also not an option, since there might be touch events in
the mean time.

Last but not least we do not cache the results, since this
interface can be used to check the I2C communication is still
working as expected.

I went through the code and understood the reasoning to implement that way, if
it helps:

These are properties of the controller (i2c device), not input
abstraction class on top of it, so the attributes should be attached to
i2c_client instance.

Please use devm_device_add_group() in probe to instantiate them at the
proper level.

Thanks.

As written in the cover letter using devm_device_add_group() in
probe routine results in a udev race condition:

This race has been solved with the addition of KOBJ_BIND/KOBJ_UNBIND
uevents that signal when driver is bound or unbound from the device.
Granted, current systemd/udev drops them as it does not know how to
"add" to the device state, but this is on systemd to solve.
