This should be "/sys/bus/devices/.../removable" perhaps? Or not? Is
this moving in the existing USB cases?

This email address no longer works, so perhaps just use your own?

Why isn't this a bus type? Shouldn't it go there and not in the device
type?

Again, shouldn't this be a bus type, and not a device type?

Where are you going to have devices of different types on a bus that do,
or do not, allow this attribute?
