.SH NAME
attribute_container_add_device \- see if any container is interested in dev
.SH SYNOPSIS
"SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB
.sp
void attribute_container_add_device  (struct device * \fIdev\fB, int (*\fIfn\fB)
struct attribute_container *,       struct device *,       struct class_device *);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIdev\fB\fR
device to add attributes to
.TP
\fB\fIfn\fB\fR
function to trigger addition of class device.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function allocates storage for the class device(s) to be
attached to dev (one for each matching attribute_container).  If no
fn is provided, the code will simply register the class device via
class_device_add.  If a function is provided, it is expected to add
the class device at the appropriate time.  One of the things that
might be necessary is to allocate and initialise the classdev and
then add it a later time.  To do this, call this routine for
allocation and initialisation and then use
\fBattribute_container_device_trigger\fR to call \fBclass_device_add\fR on
it.  Note: after this, the class device contains a reference to dev
which is not relinquished until the release of the classdev.
