In the later patchset, Maya's "[PATCH v4 1/2] mmc: card: Move MMC specific attributes to mmc sub-directory" moves the existing attributes into the mmc/ directory. It's that move that I'm objecting to, rather than the creation of a new directory -- although since we're going to leave the current attributes where they are, it might not make sense to add the new directory. We'd be creating two places that people have to look for mmc-related attributes, which is arguably less clean than having one place to look even though it's mixed in with the other block device attributes.
