Dan Williams 60d360acdd driver-core: Introduce DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}
A common pattern for using plain DEVICE_ATTR() instead of
DEVICE_ATTR_RO() and DEVICE_ATTR_RW() is for attributes that want to
limit read to only root.  I.e. many users of DEVICE_ATTR() are
specifying 0400 or 0600 for permissions.

Given the expectation that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to access these
sensitive attributes add an explicit helper with the _ADMIN_ identifier
for DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
