The channel attribute dbr_size is only relevant for the DIM2 interface. So
is the packets_per_xact for USB. Currently, all attrs are shown by default
in sysfs for any channel. To get a clean content of a channel directory,
this patch makes the attributes show up only on the channel they belong to.

No, please use the proper way of doing this.  Your attribute can have a
callback when it is being created to test if it should be created or
not.  Use that, this is exactly what it is there for.

Hmm, I don't see how to hook a custom callback to a device attribute
as its structure does not provide any pointer to do so.

I went down the rabbit hole staring at "device_register", but
I couldn't find any code that checks for such a function before
adding the attributes to sysfs.

Can you please point out some driver code that makes use of such
a callback you are talking about? That would be nice.

all the best,
Chris
