When you are the only caller of a function in the kernel, that's a HUGE
flag that maybe you should not be calling it...
Which reminds me, I need to go remove this...
Anyway, no, don't do this, you are racing userspace with your sysfs
files. Reference the groups in the platform_driver structure and the
driver core will properly create, and remove, them for you, and
userspace will be happy they show up at the correct time.
This also makes your probe/remove function smaller.
