This is great, and needed to be done, but you need to take this one step
further.  This attribute group needs to be registered by the driver
core, not the comedi core, so userspace doesn't get an add event before
the files are created.  To do that, assign this attribute group to the
class and the core will handle it for you.

I've taken this patch, but will you make a follow-on patch that makes
this change, which will remove this race?  It should be a net removal of
code in the comedi core overall.

thanks,
