This piece of code is expanded `DEVICE_ATTR` macro with changed variable 
name.
`DEVICE_ATTR` is defined as:
```c
// Reference: 
https://github.com/intel-lab-lkp/linux/blob/Vadym-Tytan/HID-playstation-DS4-Add-BT-poll-interval-adjustment/20250509-054413/include/linux/device.h#L138-L158
#define DEVICE_ATTR(_name, _mode, _show, _store) \
	struct device_attribute dev_attr_##_name = __ATTR(_name, _mode, _show, 
_store)
```
It doesn't use `static` so neither did I.

P.S. Macro was expanded and variable name was changed from 
`dev_attr_bt_poll_interval` to `dev_attr_dualshock4_bt_poll_interval` 
because this attribute only applies to DualShock4
