That pattern is racy and broken and never ever ever add it to the kernel
again please.  All existing in-kernel users of it are also wrong, we
have been removing them for decades now.

You have created a "raw" kobject in the device tree now, which means
that userspace will not be notified of it and will have a "hole" in it's
knowledge.  Why not just create a named attribute group to this device
instead?

Again, racy and broken, please do not do this.
