Why is all of this information not in Documentation/ABI/ like the rest
of the kernel's sysfs information? When it is there it can be
automatically tested as well.

Please don't add new entries to the wrong place if at all possible.

sysfs_emit() please, for this, and all other show functions.

ATTRIBUTE_GROUP()?

Hm, maybe not, but I think it could be used here.

sysfs_attr_init() might be needed here, have you run with lockdep
enabled?

Other than those minor things, nice work, all looks good.
