Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] seq_file: Introduce DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE() helper macro

From: Andy Shevchenko <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2017 22:36:04 +0200

The DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE() helper macro would be useful for current
users, which are many of them, and for new comers to decrease code
duplication.
