If you think more than a few hwmon/chip drivers will benefit from dynamically creating the attributes, then maybe we can create some standard method for doing so, bmcsensors of course needs to dynamically allocate things, so I'd be using them too. An earlier idea was to create a standard sysfs function(s) for dynamically creating device_attributes (and others), but now we will have custom structures with an embedded device_attribute, it looks to me like each attribute type would require it's own function.
