When drivers expose a bin_attribute in sysfs which is backed by a buffer
in memory, a common pattern is to set the @private and @size members in
struct bin_attribute to the buffer's location and size.
The ->read() callback then merely consists of a single memcpy() call.
It's not even necessary to
Deduplicate ->read() callbacks of bin_attributes which are backed by a
simple buffer in memory:
Use the newly introduced sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper instead,
either by referencing it directly or by declaring such bin_attributes
with BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_RO() or BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_ADMIN_RO().

For my upcoming PCI device authentication v2 patches, I have the need
to expose a simple buffer in virtual memory as a bin_attribute.
It turns out we've duplicated the ->read() callback for such simple
buffers a fair number of times across the tree.
So instead of reinventing the wheel, I decided
