Subject[PATCH] sysfs: group: allow is_visible to drop permissions
Date
Using the optional is_visible function, it is actually possible to
either hide an attribute, or add a new permission, but not remove one.

This commit uses all the UGO bits returned by is_visible instead of
OR'ing them with the default attribute mode.

Concretely, this allows a driver to use macros like DEVICE_ATTR_RW to
set the attribute show and store functions and remove the S_IWUSR
permission in is_visible if the implementation doesn't provide a setter.
