Also, many of the attribute callbacks in that file seem to all have
their leading '{' in the wrong place. Odd that checkpatch.pl doesn't
catch that...

partition_handle_show() is one such example that is obviously wrong.

There's also one checkpatch.pl warning for it, which should probably be
resolved as well.

I strongly suggest you go through everything again on your own...
