The named ("sgx") attribute group is exported:

extern const struct attribute_group sgx_node_group;

and added as an additional group of the node device:

static const struct attribute_group node_dev_group = {
.attrs = node_dev_attrs,
};

static const struct attribute_group *node_dev_groups[] = {
&node_dev_group,
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_SGX
&sgx_node_group,
#endif /* CONFIG_X86_SGX */
NULL,
};

An alternative would to define a helper, e.g.

ssize_t sgx_get_node_size(struct device *dev);

And use this in drivers/base/node.c to implement the attribute. I'm
fine either way...
