Not necessarily very nice, but the easiest. In this particular case, if you don't want to do that, I see two alternatives (probably for a different patch though): 1* Move the creation of these individual files to a separate function. This saves one level of indentation, so it should fit. 2* Split sis5595_attributes_opt into sis5595_attributes_in4 and sis5595_attributes_temp1, and use sysfs_create_group on these instead of individual calls to device_create_file. -- Jean Delvare
