Why remove sysfs_emit()? That's the correct thing to use, please use
it.

Why do you need a new CFLAG? Why not just look at the CONFIG entry
instead? And your .c code does not use this new CFLAG at all, so why is
it even here?

Properly wrap your lines.
Also a blenk line after the BUG_ON()?

sysfs_emit() please.

Again, why not an error?
And why are these sysfs files even present if the mode is not set
properly? Can the mode be set while the device is attached or is this
only defined at probe time? If at probe time, just never create these
files.

Again, sysfs_emit() please.
