I just didn't know about kobj_to_dev() inline function. Totally agree that
container_of() should be replaced with it.
What does look confusing to you? Do you mean the name "to_pdev_kobj" of the
macro?

Of course it should be static. Thanks for noticing that.
But I intentionally utilized BIN_ATTR() instead of BIN_ATTR_RW(), because
the last one implies to define the read/write methods with names
"_name##_read"/"_name##_write", which totally get out of naming within the
driver source code. To tell the truth macro BIN_ATTR_RW() isn't that
popular in the kernel. Neither is BIN_ATTR() macro, but it suites my driver
better than the another one.

Thanks,
