You should never have to call a sysfs_* function from a driver or bus
code, that implies something is wrong :)

Just set the sysfs attributes to be the default groups for your
bus/device/whatever-you-have-here and then the driver core will properly
manage the creation and removal of these files, in a race-free manner.

As it is, I think this is racy and will cause userspace confusion, but I
haven't looked for sure, as you should use the api that guarantees it is
safe...
