Very minor nits, you can change this in a future add-on patch:

> +static DEVICE_ATTR(family, S_IRUGO, mic_show_family, NULL);

This should use DEVICE_ATTR_RO(), so that we don't have to audit the
permissions of your DEVICE_ATTR() files.

> +static DEVICE_ATTR(stepping, S_IRUGO, mic_show_stepping, NULL);

Same here.

> + &dev_attr_family.attr,

These last two structures can be replaced with:
ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(mic_default);

This is "odd", why not just export the data structure and reference it
in the other code? The pci core does this, and so do other busses.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, just a bit strange to me.
