I think it makes it worse.
Now the comment doesn't match the code.
And attach_drv name also looks out of place.
Technically program type is also an attach type to some degree.
The name could be a bit confusing, but in combination with type:
'enum bpf_prog_type *attach_type'
I think it's pretty clear what these functions are doing.
So I prefer to keep the code as-is.
