Hmm, I was hesitating to do that because it needs either long code
(over 80 chars) or some driver internal macros.

There is already same issue in dmi-sysfs.c, it uses an internal macro
DMI_SYSFS_ATTR for 0400 attr.  I did not search all the kernel code,
there might be more for such special cases. Maybe we can add some
comment in sysfs.h to mention this is for some special case?

I can do something similar as dmi sysfs code though.
