Better, but you are abusing sysfs (note, no CAPS) a lot here...

nit, global symbols should put the noun first:
platform_lockdown_attribute_register()
But, this all is not ok.
You are trying to create/remove random sysfs files that end up in a
single class. What you want to do is create a device that is associated
with this class, and make that device a child of the device you are
registering these attributes for.
Think of this as an input device. You don't put the random input
attributes all in one place, you create a new device that represents the
input interface and register that. Then userspace can iterate over all
devices that are of the input class and see the individual attributes of
them.
Make more sense?
So you need something like:
platform_lockdown_device_create()
that returns a 'struct device' that is associated with the new class
device.
