Yes, the macro is odd. As you are doing two different things here, just
spell it out in the code and use kobj_to_dev() to make it easier to
read please.

That's ok, use the names the macro wants you to, that's the best way,
and it ensures that I don't have to audit your permissions are correct

Yes, but it should be, I have patches floating around somewhere to fix
almost all of these up.

a "raw" BIN_ATTR() shouldn't be used either, please use the _RW()
