* How do you think about to use the attribute “__free(kfree)” at more places accordingly?
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.11-rc4/source/include/linux/slab.h#L282

* Would you like to reduce scopes for such local variables?

Can condition checks be merged with the same return value (for less statements)?

Can such a size determination be explained better?

I suggest to use another local variable for the previous return value
so that such a reset can be avoided.

Is there a need to organise device attributes into separate subgroups?

I propose to omit the explicit initialisation for this local variable.

Please improve such a size determination.

Please apply the statement “return 0;” instead.

Please reconsider the need once more also for this information.
