Thank you for the reviews.
In the current linux tree i can find these driver instances who is using
"soc_device_to_device" for populating their sysfs entries.

drivers/soc/ux500/ux500-soc-id.c: parent =
soc_device_to_device(soc_dev);
drivers/soc/tegra/fuse/fuse-tegra.c: return
soc_device_to_device(dev);
drivers/soc/amlogic/meson-gx-socinfo.c: dev =
soc_device_to_device(soc_dev);
drivers/soc/amlogic/meson-mx-socinfo.c:
dev_info(soc_device_to_device(soc_dev), "Amlogic %s %s detected\n",
drivers/soc/imx/soc-imx8.c: ret =
device_create_file(soc_device_to_device(soc_dev),
drivers/soc/imx/soc-imx-scu.c: ret =
device_create_file(soc_device_to_device(soc_dev),
drivers/soc/versatile/soc-realview.c:
device_create_file(soc_device_to_device(soc_dev), &realview_manf_attr);
drivers/soc/versatile/soc-realview.c:
device_create_file(soc_device_to_device(soc_dev), &realview_board_attr);
drivers/soc/versatile/soc-realview.c:
device_create_file(soc_device_to_device(soc_dev), &realview_arch_attr);
drivers/soc/versatile/soc-realview.c:
device_create_file(soc_device_to_device(soc_dev), &realview_build_attr);
drivers/soc/versatile/soc-integrator.c: dev =
soc_device_to_device(soc_dev);

These drivers can use the current proposed approach to expose their
sysfs entries.
Will try to address these and submit. But i can't able to test these
changes because i do not have these h/w's
