Also, it'd be better to move ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(soundbus_dev) into soundbus/sysfs.c, and make it this global instead of soundbus_dev_attrs[].
Ok, I need to find a nice way to do that because ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS declares the structure as static.
If it results in an ungly code, it's fine with the original code, too. But, maybe with a comment indicating that xxx_dev_attrs[] is defined in xxx.c.
Since sound/aoa/soundbus/sysfs is small, a solution would be to merge sound/aoa/soundbus/sysfs.c and sound/aoa/soundus/core.c. Moreover all 172 other usages of the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS macro define the struct attribute *xxx_attrs[] in the same file they assign the .dev_groups field.
I'm not sure about this change as it seems way more important than adding a comment line as you suggested.
Should I send a patch merging these two files?
