Make sure that this provides the same value for all existing drivers
using devlink.

Comparing to string does not seem correct here.

As Jakub pointed out, you have to make sure that driver does not put the
same attrs again. You have to introduce this functionality with removing
the fill-ups in drivers atomically, in a single patch.
