I have already tried kobject_uevent. I thought kobject_uevent will notify about the changes. But that didn't work. I think netlink is the only way to asynchronously communicate with user space. Is there any other way?

Use select to detect changes in sysfs files. Or at the worse case, a
kobject CHANGE event, but be careful about using those, as they wake up
a lot of userspace when they are created.
