What is userspace going to do with that information? Why does it care?

sysfs is supposed to be one value per file, this violates that. I don't
like that at all, now this file has to be parsed by userspace.

Turn these into an attribute group, so you can add them all at once?
And do you really need these for _EVERY_ device in the system? That
feels like a lot of extra files for almost no users.

These should be added in device_add(), not burried down in
device_add_attrs, which is there to add the attributes that the
bus/class wants to have added to the device.
But I still don't know why this is needed, or who is going to use it, or
what they are going to be used for...
