Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended
form attributes easier.  configfs should have something similiar.

- _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the
  sysfs macros.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute()
  operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended
  form configfs_attributes.

+The only difference between configfs_example_explicit.c and

+are defined.  The childless item has extended attributes, each with
+their own show()/store() operation.  This follows a convention commonly
+used in sysfs.  configfs_example_explicit.c creates these attributes
+by explicitly defining the structures involved.  Conversely
+configfs_example_macros.c uses some convenience macros from configfs.h
+to define the attributes.  These macros are similar to their sysfs
