Good idea.

It might make sense to separate this octal permissions
test into a new macro for other checks in macros like
CLASS_ATTR, DEVICE_ATTR, SENSOR_ATTR and SENSOR_ATTR_2.

Maybe something like:

#define VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS(perm)					\
	static int __param_perm_check_##name __attribute__((unused)) =	\
	BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) < 0 || (perm) > 0777 || ((perm) & 2))	\
	/* User perms >= group perms >= other perms. */			\
	+ BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(((perm) >> 6) < (((perm) >> 3) & 7))	\
	+ BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((((perm) >> 3) & 7) < ((perm) & 7));	\
