debugfs and sysfs are two totally different things, with different rules
and requirements.  Split this up into at least 2 different patches and
don't mush them all together.

Would you want to try to review 2000+ lines of this type of thing that
does two totally different things at the same time?

Also, you forgot the sysfs Documentation/ABI/ entries, which are
required as you know.

And finally, you should never do this:

You just raced with userspace and lost.  Use the default groups pointer
for your driver and all will be fine.  Makes for much smaller code that
works properly.
