Can you just make 4 different entries in this file, making it easier to
parse and extend over time?

Why does an attribute have to be part of this structure?

sysfs_emit() for when writing out to a sysfs file please.  Same
elsewhere in this file.

What is wrong with just using the __ATTR_RO() macro and then having an
array of attributes in a single group?  That should be a lot simpler
overall, right?

If you do the above, no need for this function at all.

Again, if you just have a list of attributes, there's no need for this
function either.

I think this can be a lot simpler than you are currently making it.
