Here is how sysfs uses is_visible:

static int create_files(struct kernfs_node *parent, struct kobject *kobj,
...
if (grp->is_visible) {
mode = grp->is_visible(kobj, *attr, i);
if (!mode)
continue;
}
error = sysfs_add_file_mode_ns(parent, *attr, false,
(*attr)->mode | mode,
NULL);

so basically is the mode set is the original mode from the attributed
"or-ed" with the mode return by is_visible.
