SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] HID: roccat: using new sysfs_create_bin_group() in kone driver

Looking at this, I have a problem with the way this works.
You are still doing this the hard and racy way.

sysfs attributes that are only added when we initialize the hardware and
are only removed when we remove the driver should use the device layer
functions to create their attributes.

This achieves two things. The code is easier to write because there
is less of it.
The notification to user space happens after the attributes appear so
that you don't
have strange hotplug races.

If there a chance you can look at implementing this in the simpler
race free way?
