This is based on the suggestions from Hans de Goede when Greg
Kroah-Hartman had suggested to switch to use device_add_groups().

You are now modifying the driver struct while the driver is being
probed(). That is really a bad idea.
The idea is to assign a static set of driver groups directly in
the driver declaration:
static struct platform_driver amd_hsmp_driver = {
.probe = hsmp_pltdrv_probe,
.remove_new = hsmp_pltdrv_remove,
.driver = {
.name = DRIVER_NAME,
.acpi_match_table = amd_hsmp_acpi_ids,
},
};
And if you then need certain sysfs attributes to only be shown
in certain conditions add an is_visible callback to your
const struct attribute_group, note you can use separate
is_visible callbacks per group to hide / unhide the entire
groupin one go.

Thank you for your response. We are dynamically creating groups based
on number of sockets available in the system.
The number of sockets in the system is known only after hsmp_plt_init()
call. Hence I couldn't add it in
amd_hsmp_driver structure.
Now that I came to know that its a bad idea, I will check for other
possible solution.
Thank you,
Suma
