You can just make a subdir for your attributes by using the attribute
group name, if a subdirectory is needed just to keep things a bit more
organized.
Otherwise, you need to mess with having multiple "types" of struct
device all associated with the same bus. It is possible, and not that
hard, but I don't think you are doing that here.
