For drivers wishing to expose an unsigned long, int or bool at a static memory location in sysfs, the driver core provides ready-made helpers such as device_show_ulong() to be used as ->show() callback. Some drivers need to expose a string and so far they all provide their own ->show() implementation. arch/powerpc/perf/hv-24x7.c went so far as to create a device_show_string() helper but kept it private. Make it public for reuse by other drivers. The pattern seems to be sufficiently frequent to merit a public helper. Add a DEVICE_STRING_ATTR_RO() macro in line with the existing DEVICE_ULONG_ATTR() and similar macros to ease declaration of string 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.
