The device creator is supposed to use the dev.groups value to add sysfs
files before device_add is called, not call sysfs_create_files() after
device_add() returns. This creates a race with uevent delivery where the
extra attribute will not be visible.

This was being done because the groups had been co-opted by the mdev
driver, now that prior patches have moved the driver's groups to the
struct device_driver the dev.group is properly free for use here.

Now that all mdev drivers directly create their own mdev_device driver and
directly register with the vfio core's vfio_device_ops this is all dead
code.

Delete vfio_mdev.c and the mdev_parent_ops members that are connected to

For some reason the vfio_mdev shim mdev_driver has its own module and
kconfig. As the next patch requires access to it from mdev.ko merge the
two modules together and remove VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE.

A later patch deletes this driver entirely.

This returns the index in the supported_type_groups array that is
associated with the mdev_type attached to the struct mdev_device or its
containing struct kobject.

Each mdev_device can be spawned from exactly one mdev_type, which in turn
originates from exactly one supported_type_group.

Drivers are using weird string calculations to try and get back to this
index, providing a direct access to the index removes a bunch of wonky
driver code.

mdev_type-&gt;group can be deleted as the group is obtained using the
type_group_id.

The kobj pointer in mdev_device is actually pointing at a struct
mdev_type. Use the proper type so things are understandable.

There are a number of places that are confused and passing both the mdev
and the mtype as function arguments, fix these to derive the mtype
directly from the mdev to remove the redundancy.

<title>vfio/mdev: Add missing typesafety around mdev_device</title>

<content type='text'>
The mdev API should accept and pass a 'struct mdev_device *' in all
places, not pass a 'struct device *' and cast it internally with
to_mdev_device(). Particularly in its struct mdev_driver functions, the
whole point of a bus's struct device_driver wrapper is to provide type
safety compared to the default struct device_driver.

Further, the driver core standard is for bus drivers to expose their
device structure in their public headers that can be used with
container_of() inlines and '&amp;foo-&gt;dev' to go between the class levels, and
'&amp;foo-&gt;dev' to be used with dev_err/etc driver core helper functions. Move
'struct mdev_device' to mdev.h

Once done this allows moving some one instruction exported functions to
static inlines, which in turns allows removing one of the two grotesque
symbol_get()'s related to mdev in the core code.

The macro wrongly uses 'dev' as both the macro argument and the member
name, which means it fails compilation if any caller uses a word other
than 'dev' as the single argument. Fix this defect by making it into
proper static inline, which is more clear and typesafe anyhow.
