    This feels wrong, attributes should be groups and be automatically added
    and removed by the driver core that way. Not as lists of attributes
    like this, as that will race and be wrong.

    Use a list of attribute groups please.

    You just raced with userspace and lost :(

    Please use attribute groups instead of manually adding files after the
    device is created and userspace is notified that it was present.

    That also makes your clean up logic much simpler (i.e. none as the drive
    core did it for you already.)

    Attribute groups please.

    Why do you think this needs to be in the driver core? Why isn't this
    just a normal cpu driver?

    thanks,
