I don't know exactly you were told to do here, but do not reorganise the
entire driver just to add an attribute group. It not only makes the
patch harder to review but also messes up the git history (e.g.
git-blame) for no good reason.

This isn't equivalent with the current implementation, which used
different visibility per attribute.

And you should only need a forward declaration for ftdi_sio_groups for
this.
