It got a bit perverse from attempting to separate the devicetree handling from everything else. I'll fix the issues you've pointed out and rework the sysfs/kobj stuff.
However, the patch (and the series) was intended as a straw man. I should have put more effort in to avoid some of the distraction (sorry), but I was also hoping to get feedback on the general approach (so devicetree design and how to expose the bits to userspace in a useful manner).
Regarding the class, yeah, it's probably not the right choice and I'm not going to double down on it, but it collates the fields in an easy to discover location. Not doing something like this means a lot of grubbing around in /sys/device. Is there a better approach?
Thanks for the feedback so far.
