The preferred way to expose PCI sysfs attributes nowadays is to add them
to pci_dev_attr_groups[] and use the ->is_visible callback to check
whether they're applicable to a particular pci_dev.  The alternative
via pci_create_resource_files() has race conditions which I think
still haven't been fixed. Bjorn recommended the ->is_visible approach
in response to the most recent attempt to fix the race:

To avoid (most of) the #ifdefs, you may want to consider adding a
doe-sysfs.c file like I've done for cma in this commit:

Thanks,
