The module core already guarantees that a module can only be unloaded after all other modules using its symbols have been unloaded. As it's already the responsibility of the drivers using firmware_attributes_class to clean up their devices before unloading, the lifetime of the firmware_attributes_class can be bound to the lifetime of the module. This enables the direct usage of firmware_attributes_class from the drivers, without having to go through the lifecycle functions, leading to simplifications for both the subsystem and its users.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
