$ grep __ATTR * -RI
efi.c: __ATTR(systab, 0400, systab_show, NULL);
efi.c:static struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_fw_vendor = __ATTR_RO(fw_vendor);
efi.c:static struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_runtime = __ATTR_RO(runtime);
efi.c:static struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_config_table = __ATTR_RO(config_table);
efi.c: __ATTR_RO(fw_platform_size);
esrt.c:static struct esre_attribute esre_fw_class = __ATTR(fw_class, 0400,
esrt.c:static struct esre_attribute esre_##name = __ATTR(name, 0400, \
esrt.c:static struct kobj_attribute esrt_##name = __ATTR(name, 0400, \
runtime-map.c:static struct map_attribute map_type_attr = __ATTR_RO(type);
runtime-map.c:static struct map_attribute map_phys_addr_attr = __ATTR_RO(phys_addr);
runtime-map.c:static struct map_attribute map_virt_addr_attr = __ATTR_RO(virt_addr);
runtime-map.c:static struct map_attribute map_num_pages_attr = __ATTR_RO(num_pages);
runtime-map.c:static struct map_attribute map_attribute_attr = __ATTR_RO(attribute);

Above is all the __ATTR users for drivers/firmware/efi/*, it makes sense
to update all __ATTR_RO to __ATTR_RO_MODE, so efi.c, runtime-map.c, and
drivers/firmware/dmi-sysfs.c can be updated. But esrt.c __ATTR seems
not necessary.

And if so __ATTR_RO_MODE(name, mode) still needs go to sysfs.h.

I can do it but need confirm, Is this what you prefer?

Thanks
