In this series I am proposing to rework how we do sysfs, mainly for thermal zone attributes. Currently, as many features have been added recently, there are more than one way of attribute handling. This series is an attempt to standardize the sysfs handling. Essentially, this will move all attributes to the dev.groups field, so sysfs core code handles the attributes properly. Apart from the obvious code organization benefit, this change should also take care properly of attribute destruction, when thermal zones are removed. The cooling device attributes are more or less handled in this manner. But they still require some piece of rework. In this series, I am not touching them yet. I don't expect any impact on userspace. The only change in behavior is that now, thermal zones with empty .type will not be allowed to be registered. Please give your inputs.
