-Word of warning:  While the kernel allows device_create_file() and
-device_remove_file() to be called on a device at any time, userspace has
-strict expectations on when attributes get created.  When a new device is
-registered in the kernel, a uevent is generated to notify userspace (like
-udev) that a new device is available.  If attributes are added after the
-device is registered, then userspace won't get notified and userspace will
-not know about the new attributes.
-
-This is important for device driver that need to publish additional
-attributes for a device at driver probe time.  If the device driver simply
-calls device_create_file() on the device structure passed to it, then
-userspace will never be notified of the new attributes.  Instead, it should
-probably use class_create() and class->dev_attrs to set up a list of
-desired attributes in the modules_init function, and then in the .probe()
-hook, and then use device_create() to create a new device as a child
-of the probed device.  The new device will generate a new uevent and
-properly advertise the new attributes to userspace.
-
-For example, if a driver wanted to add the following attributes:
-struct device_attribute mydriver_attribs[] = {
-	__ATTR(port_count, 0444, port_count_show),
-	__ATTR(serial_number, 0444, serial_number_show),
-	NULL
-};
-
-Then in the module init function is would do:
-	mydriver_class = class_create(THIS_MODULE, "my_attrs");
-	mydriver_class.dev_attr = mydriver_attribs;
-
-And assuming 'dev' is the struct device passed into the probe hook, the driver
-probe function would do something like:
-	create_device(&mydriver_class, dev, chrdev, &private_data, "my_name");
