There is already identical code in drivers/net/usb/ax88172a.c.  Any
chance these ASIX devices can share some code, or does it all have to be
duplicated for each new chip?

Probably not like that...

I'm not sure I understand this at all.  What kind of userspace API are
you trying to provide here? Maybe you could document these attributes
Documentation/ABI/testing/ to make it more clear?

Ah, I guess you might have missed this section of
Documentation/kobject.txt ?:

  One important point cannot be overstated: every kobject must have a
  release() method, and the kobject must persist (in a consistent state)
  until that method is called. If these constraints are not met, the
  code is flawed.  Note that the kernel will warn you if you forget to
  provide a release() method.  Do not try to get rid of this warning by
  providing an "empty" release function; you will be mocked mercilessly
  by the kobject maintainer if you attempt this.

Better CC Greg KH on your next attempt to make sure you get the mocking
you deserve :-)

Unconditional allocation.

I see that you reference the usb device here, but I don't see why.  This
is related to et network device, isn't it?  What's wrong about simply
using dev->net->sysfs_groups[0] instead?

Conditional kfree.  Obfuscated by the fact that you have a conditionally
defined *priv pointing to dev->driver_priv, but it doesn't change the
fact that you leak on errors.
