Personally, I prefer to get kset_create_and_add() to return an error which
can reflect the actual cause of the failure given that kset_register() can
failed due to different reasons.  If so, however, looks we have to make a
certain amount of change for the existing modules which are support sysfs
since they all return -ENOMEM if kset_create_and_add() return NULL, maybe
this is inherited from samples/kobject/kset-example.c...
