Please follow the indentation style that is used elsewhere in the kernel and
move the sdev->host->hostt->sdev_groups argument to the right such that it
starts one position to the right of the sysfs_create_groups() opening
parenthesis. Please also indent the if (error) statement correctly.

If sdev->is_visible is false then the device_add() call for sdev->sdev_gendev
may have failed so calling sysfs_remove_groups() is not necessary. Please move
this call down to just before the device_del(dev) since that call also removes
sysfs attributes. Additionally, I think that checkpatch will complain about the
above code and will report that braces are not necessary for single-line
statements?

Thanks,

Bart.
