Hi Greg,

Thanks for reviewing this.

Ick, why create your own function for this when the driver core has this
functionality built into it?  Look at the is_visible() callback, and how
it is use for an attribute group please.


I agree even I added this function hesitantly as didn't realize that I can use
is_visible for this purpose. Thanks for pointing that out I will have a look
at it.

You should just remove a whole group at once, not individually.


Right, I must be able to get rid of these 2 functions once I use
is_visible callback.

You just raced with userspace here, creating these files _after_ the
device was announced to userspace, causing problems with anyone wanting
to read these attributes :(

I think if you fix up the is_visible() thing above, these calls will go
away, right?


Yes I agree.

Sudeep
