These could use the sysfs_emit function and not scnprintf
and as well could use a single shared function with an index.

Something like:

static ssize_t eventx_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attr *attr, int index, char *buf)
{
	struct keembay_xlink_dev *xlink_dev = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
	struct xlink_attr *a = &xlink_dev->eventx[index];

	return sysfs_emit(buf, "0x%x 0x%lx\n", a->sw_dev_id, a->value);
}

static ssize_t event0_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf)
{
	return eventx_show(dev, attr, 0, buf);
}

etc...

Perhaps significantly less stack would be used if these declarations were
moved into the case blocks where used.  Less initialization would be done
per ioctl too.

	case XL_DATA_READY_CALLBACK: {
		struct xlinkcallback cb	= {};
		etc...
		break;
