    ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
    introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
    manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
    fit the configfs usage model.
    
    Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
    requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
    such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
    devices etc.
    
    Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
    and howto use them.
    
    This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains
    Christoph's configfs rework.
