Why make this change?  It's not relevant to your patch, right?

Why isn't 'attribute' an enumerated type like you just defined above?
Extra type-checking is always good, especially as the variable name
'attribute' means something totally different in other parts of this
file.

What's with the extra indentation?

Why return a value at all here?

Why return values for these two functions if you never check them
anywhere?  Either check the return value and do something with it, or
just make them 'void'.

Also, you need to add documentation for what this sysfs file is and does
in the Documentation/ABI/ directory.  That must be in this patch to have
it acceptable.
