Subject: [PATCH 53/69] libertas: register sysfs groups properly
Date:   Mon,  3 May 2021 13:57:20 +0200
Message-Id: <20210503115736.2104747-54-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

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.
