Oops, missed that you added these in a later patch, sorry about comment
on patch 2.

binary attribute? Why?

What is this used for?

Why is this needed? Shouldn't the normal block device export this type
of information?

It's a sysfs file, no need for scnprintf() crap, just use sprintf()
please.

And the code can be made smaller by just doing:
return sprintf(buf, "EMMC\n");

:)

Hm, no. That's not how a binary attribute works. If you want a binary
attribute, use that type, don't put binary data in a "normal" sysfs
file.

Nice job with the group, thanks for doing that.
