Yes, it does seem like lot of code is overlapping but they differ by 
properties that are little unnoticeable.

If we make single file adding switch cases we may end up in many
switch cases and if conditions. Because, here only attribute_name,
display_lang_code, display_lang and modifier are same. Apart from 
these other properties are different either by name or data type.

Also, one advantage here is if any new type is added in future it will
be easier to create new sysfs_attr_group according to new type's
properties

We will certainly try and minimize some identical looking code
wherever possible and add inline comments/document the 
differences more clearly in v3 which is incoming shortly.

For each type of attribute GUIDs are different and for each type
instance IDs start from zero. So if we populate them in single data
structure then instance IDs may overlap.
