Hey Greg, Marc was able to get me a backtrace for that bootup hang scenario that Pierre noted here [1]. A Tested-by is still pending, but I am certain this is the issue, and it may impact more than just the one platform if that "empty_attrs" pattern has been repeated anywhere else in the kernel. I also took some time to document how to use the helpers a bit better, and introduce DEFINE_SIMPLE_SYSFS_GROUP_VISIBLE() for cases where all that matters is group visibility and not per attribute visibility.
