No need for 2 lines :(

Same here.

Also, where is the Documentation/ABI/ update for the new sysfs file?

You just raced with userspace and lost :(

Please create an attribute group and add it to the .dev_groups pointer
in struct driver so it can be created properly in a race-free manner.

See the thread at:
	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190731124349.4474-2-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
for the details on how to do that.

thanks,
