Currently each exported GPIO is represented in sysfs as a separate class device. This allows us to simply use dev_get_drvdata() to retrieve the pointer passed to device_create_with_groups() from sysfs ops callbacks. However, we're preparing to add a parallel set of per-line sysfs attributes that will live inside the associated gpiochip group. They are not registered as class devices and so have the parent device passed as argument to their callbacks (the GPIO chip class device). Put the attribute structs inside the GPIO descriptor data and dereference the relevant ones using container_of() in the callbacks. This way, we'll be able to reuse the same code for both the legacy and new GPIO attributes.

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.
