Subject[PATCH] class.c: added class_create_attrs() function
From
Hello,

this is a patch based on linux 2.6.18-rc6.
It adds a class_create_attrs() function in
drivers/base/class.c .
This new function works similar to class_create(),
but also allows to create the class attribute files
(if any) during class creation.

-Thomas Maier
